A guy named David received a parrot for his birthday.
The parrot was fully grown, with a bad attitude and
an even worse vocabulary. Every other word was a curse
word. Those that weren't curse words were, to say the
least, rude. 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.
Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the bird
yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got
more angry and more rude. Finally, in a moment of
desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer. 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. 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 I may have offended you with my
rude language and actions. I will endeavor at once to
correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and beg
your forgiveness." David was astonished at the bird's
change in attitude and was about to ask what had
caused such a dramatic change when the parrot
continued, "May I ask what the chickens did?"
