----------------------
Ole received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad
attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of
this bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with
profanity.

Ole tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by
constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and
anything he could think of to set a good example.
Nothing worked.

Finally, Ole got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And,
the bird yelled back. Ole shook the parrot, and the bird
got angrier and ruder.

Finally, in a moment of desperation, Ole put the bird in
the
refrigerator's freezer.

For a few minutes, Ole heard the bird squawk and kick and
scream... then suddenly there was quiet. Not a peep for
over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the bird, Ole quickly opened the
door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto Ole's outstretched arm
and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude
language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do
anything I can to correct my poor behavior."

Ole was astonished at the bird's change of attitude. As he
was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic
change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what
the chicken did?"
