[FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]Parrot Attitude Adjustment [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]correct my rude and unforgivable behavior. John was stunned at the change [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif]turkey did?"
