    I received the following this morning from an ex-GC member so thought I'd pass it along ...

    A young man named John received a parrot as a gift just before Christmas.

    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 it 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 and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my
    rude and unforgivable behaviour."

    John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude and was just about to
    ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour when
    the parrot said.



    â??May I ask what the turkey did?â?
