Here is your pre-Thanksgiving joke.
Enjoy!

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, John was fed up, and he yelled at the
parrot.
The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the parrot got even
more
angry and rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the
bird
and put him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked, kicked and screamed. 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, "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!
