    A young man named Paul received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad
    attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's
    mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

    Paul tried 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 "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

    Finally, Paul was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled
    back. Paul shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
    Paul, 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, Paul quickly opened the door to the
    freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Paul's outstretched arms and
    said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and
    actions.
    I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully
    intend to do everything I can to correct my unforgivable behavior."

    Paul was stunned at the difference in his attitude and as he was about
    to ask what had made such a dramatic change, when the bird
    continued......"May I ask what the Turkey did?"
