A cute parrot joke
So there's this fella with a parrot. And this parrot swears like a
sailor; I mean, he's a _pistol_. He can swear for five minutes straight
without repeating himself. Trouble is, the guy who owns him is a quiet,
conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy.
One day, it gets to be too much; so the guy grabs the bird by the throat,
shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this only makes the
bird mad, and he swears more than ever.
Then the guy gets mad and says, "I'VE HAD IT!" and locks the bird
in a kitchen cabinet.
This really aggravates the bird, and he claws and scratches and scrapes
and pecks at the cabinet door. When the guy finally lets him out, the
bird cuts loose with a stream of invective that would make a veteran
sailor blush.
At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer.
For the first few seconds, there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and
claws and thrashes. Then, it suddenly gets _very_ quiet.
At first, the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird
may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that
he opens the freezer door.
The bird calmly climbs onto the man's outstretched arm and says,
"Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve
my vocabulary from now on."
The man is astounded. He can't understand the transformation that has
come over the parrot.
As they walk out of the kitchen together, the parrot asks, "By the way, what
did the chicken do?"
