Thanksgiving humor:

--
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 ruder.
In desperation, John threw up his hands, 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 arm
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.  He was
about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his
behavior,  when the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
