And last but not least .........<br>
<br>
A guy named David 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.<br>
<br>
David 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.<br>
<br>
Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got angrier and ruder.<br>
<br>
Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer.<br>
<br>
For a few moments he heard the bird squawk and kick and scream. Then suddenly there was quiet. Not a sound for half a minute.<br>
<br>
David was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto David's extended arm and said, "I believe that I might have offended you with my rude language and actions. I will endeavor to correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and beg your forgiveness."<br>
<br>
David 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?" <p></p><i></i>
