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 continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
lol thats my bird, his names Chico... such a bad bird, Whenever I walk into the bedroom he in he calls me "azzh%ole" in that parrot voice, while funny I really want to pop his head off
I just wanted to stop in and add a Happy Thanksgiving to all of the RCM patrons and their families. I hope you all have a great day eating and watching football until you pass out. We are having dinner at the U.S. Embassy Marine Corp house here in Korea. Since my wife is in California having surgery they invited the kids and I to join them for celebration. Have a great day everyone.
