A young man named Jack 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. Jack 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, Jack was fed up and he
yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back. Jack shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier
and even ruder. Jack, 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, Jack
quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out
onto Jack'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
can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
Jack 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 continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

I was golfing with my son-in-law this past Sunday, and at one of the fairways we saw a flock of about 8 turkeys walking around. My SIL yelled at them, "If you turkeys know what's best for you, you best go into hiding for the next month or so!"

Did they listen?
