[lbo-talk] Thanksgiving

[Thomas Seay]

>The Parrot
>
>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 mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced
with profanity.
>
>John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by
consistently 
saying
>only polite words, playing soft music and anything
else he could think 
of
>to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
>
>Finally, he was fed up and yelled at the parrot. The
parrot yelled
>back. He shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier
and ruder.
>John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the
bird and put him 
in
>the freezer to give him a chilly little time-out.
> 
>For a few minutes the parrot squawked and screamed,
and 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 arms 
and
>said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude
language and 
actions.
>I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate
transgressions and I 
fully
>intend to do 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 the parrot what had made such a dramatic change
in his behavior, 
the
>bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
>
>
>HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
