THE COURTEOUS PARROT

A lady is walking down the street to work
and sees a parrot in a pet store. She stops
to admire the bird. The parrot says to her,
"Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, the
lady is furious! She storms past the store
to her work. On the way home she sees the
same parrot in the window and the parrot
upon seeing her says, "Hey lady, you are
really ugly." She was incredibly ticked now.
The next day on the way to work she saw the
same parrot and once again it said, "Hey lady,
you are really ugly." The lady was so furious
that she stormed into the store and threatened
to sue the store and have the bird killed.

The store manager apologized profusely and
promised the bird wouldn't say it again. The
next day, when the lady walked past the store
after work the parrot said to her, "Hey lady."
She paused, scowled with an icy and deadly
stare, and said with a hoarse voice, "Yes?"
The bird, strutting back and forth on its
perch in a cocky manner, said, "You know."
