I got this from my mother-in-law. I thought it was funny. Hope you like it. Love, Kim (KimbrlyDwn): << << There was this quiet, conservative man who happened to own a parrot. | Unfortunately for the man, this parrot swore like a sailor. He would | swear for five minutes straight without crazy. One day, it just got | to be too much. The guy grabbed the bird by the neck, shook him | really hard, and yelled "QUIT IT!" But this just made the bird mad | and he would start swearing even more. | | The guy finally got fed up and said, "OK for you" and locked the bird | in a kitchen cabinet. This only aggravated the parrot who contined | to claw and scratch the cabinet while he cursed even louder than | before with a stream of swearing that would make a sailor blush. | | At that point the guy became so mad that he threw the parrot | into the freezer! | | For the first few seconds the bird started swearing at words at the | top of his lungs. He kicked and clawed and thrashed all about the | place. Then it suddenly became VERY quiet. At first the guy just | waited, | | After a couple of minutes of silence, he became so worried that he | opened the freezer door. The bird calmly climbed on the man's | out-stretched arm and said, | | "I sincerely appologize and shall do my best to improve my | vocabulary from now on." | | The man was astounded. He couldn't understand the transformation | that had come over the parrot. | | Then the parrot said, "By the way, what did the chicken do?" | | >> >> --------------------- Forwarded message: Subj: Fwd: Fw: Minor Humor Date: 97-08-20 00:44:57 EDT From: MOMCAPPS To: KimbrlyDwn In a message dated 97-08-19 19:09:40 EDT, [email protected] writes: << There was this quiet, conservative man who happened to own a parrot. | Unfortunately for the man, this parrot swore like a sailor.
