frozen parrot
............................................................

David received a parrot for his birthday. This 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.

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 got worse. He shook the
bird and the bird 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 squawking, kicking, and screaming -
then suddenly there was quiet.

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'm sorry that I might have offended you with my
language and action and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct
my behavior."

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?"
