Joke

Oldie but goodie.


A guy goes to the pet store looking for a parrot.

The shop keeper has several birds for sale, all in the thousands of dollars range.

Except for one which is only $25.

The guy inquires about the el-cheapo bird.

Shopkeeper:

“This one has some behavior problems and has a pretty bad attitude and vocabulary.”

The guy figures that for only $25 he can afford to try and re-train the bird and put up with a dirty word now and then.

Well, the bird has a really bad attitude and even worse vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

The guy tired 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 try and ‘clean up’ the bird’s vocabulary.

Nothing worked.

Finally one day - the guy got fed up and yelled at the parrot.

The parrot yelled back.

The guy shook the parrot which only made the parrot angrier and even ruder.

In a fit of anger, the guy put the parrot in the freezer just to get it to shut up.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed and swore like a drunken sailor.

Suddenly – there was total silence.

Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

The guy, fearing he had harmed the bird quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto the guy’s arm and said:

“Sir; I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.”

The guy was stunned at the sudden change in the parrot’s attitude. Before he could ask the bird what had caused such a dramatic change, the parrot said:

“And sir, may I also inquire – What exactly did the Turkey do?”
