Man’s Parrot Won’t Stop Swearing And Ends Up In The Freezer

If there’s one thing that I know about animals, it’s the fact that each of them has a unique personality. Some of them can be rather docile and they can be trained easily to behave as part of a human family. Other animals, however, have such a strong personality and a mind of their own that it seems as if they are not able to be trained. In this joke, we hear about a parrot that not only had a mind of his own, he didn’t mind speaking it. As you are about to find out, however, there was a way to handle the situation and although we aren’t advocating it, we are saying that it will give you a good laugh. A young man named John 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. John 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, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. 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’d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’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 rude and unforgivable behavior.” John was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, “May I ask what the turkey did?”
