A guy named Don received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully
grown, with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an
expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude. Don
tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try
and set a good example. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the
bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got more angry and more
rude. Finally, in a moment of desperation, Don put the parrot in the
freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawk andkick and scream. Then suddenly there was quiet. Not a sound for half
a minute.
Don was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the
freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Don's extended arm and
said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.
I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and
beg your forgiveness."
Don was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask
what had made such a dramatic change when the parrot continued, "May I ask
what the chicken did?"
