A young man named Allan 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. Alan tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and any thing else he could think of to ‘cleanup’ the bird’s vocabulary.
Finally, Allan was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. Allan shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. Allan, 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, Allan quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Allan’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 canto correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.”
Allan 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 spoke-up, very softly, “May I ask what the turkey did?”

Well, this is a joke of course, but there was a real dilemma with a parrot: Once upon a time Her Majesty the Queen (Elisabeth of Britain) visited a Navy Ship. The crew did not know what to do with the parrot, because it was using very bad words. Finally they decided to ‘expel’ the parrot to shore during Her Majesty’s visit !
