a young man named john recieved a parrot, named chief, as a gift. the parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. every word out of the birds mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. john tried and tried to change the birds attitude by consistantly saying only polite words, playing soft music and any thing else he sould think of th"clean up" the bird's vocadulary. finally, john was fed up and yelled at the parrot. the parrot yelled back. john shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
john, in desperation, threw up his hand, 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 for over a minute. fearing that he had hurt the parrot, john quickly opened the door to the freezer. the parrot calmly stepped out onto john's out stretched arms and said,"i believe i may have offended you with my rude language and actions. i'm sincerly remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and i fully intend to do everything to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior"

john was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. as he was about to ask te parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his, the bird continued,

"may i ask what the turkey did?"
