Location: closely held secret | A young man named Max 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. Max 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, Max was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. Max shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. Max, in desperation, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, Max quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched hand 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."
Max was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. He was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, when the bird continued, "By the way... May I ask what the turkey did?"

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I always liked the Kliban cartoon where the family is gathered around the table and the man saying grace says, "Father, we beseech thee to heal this turkey."
A happy and thoughtful Thanksgiving to all of you! |
