Ex Maine Doug

<strong><span style="color:#880000">A  young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The  parrot had a

bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity.  John tried and</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> tried to  change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only  polite</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> words, playing soft music, and anything else</span><span style="color:#880000"> he could  think of to 'clean</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> up' the bird's vocabulary.</span><span style="color:#880000">



 Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.  The parrot yelled

back.  John shook the parrot and the  parrot got  angrier and even more

rude.  John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000">in the  freezer.  For a few minutes, the parrot squawked and kicked  and screamed.</span></strong> 

<strong><span style="color:#880000">Then, suddenly, there was total quiet.  Not a peep was heard  for over a minute.



 Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the

freezer.  The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arm and said</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and  actions.</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> I'm sincerely remorseful for my transgressions and I fully intend to do</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."



 John was stunned at the change in the bird's  attitude.  As he was about to ask</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000"> the parrot what had made such a  dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color:#880000">and very  softly said "May I ask what the turkey did?"
