The bird and...the other bird

This seems appropriate given that Thanksgiving is almost two weeks away!

A woman recently 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. She tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else she could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, she was fed up and yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. She shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and more rude. So, in desperation, she threw up her hands, grabbed the bird and threw him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then, suddenly, there was total quiet. Fearing that she hurt the parrot, the woman quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto her 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."

She was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As the woman was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
