Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Joan, As the owner of 2 parrots, I thank you for the great joke! I have not stopped laughing and laughter is good for the soul!

" The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at her and said, " New house, new madam. " The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought, " That's not so bad. " When her two teenage daughters returned from school the bird saw them and said, " New house, new madam, new girls. " The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation. Moments later, the woman's husband, came home from work. The bird looked at him and said, " Hi, .

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 The Parrot A young man named 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. 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, was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. , 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, quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto '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." 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?" HAPPY THANKSGIVING GANG!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Dear , That was a funny story about the parrot, but I guess we can all learn a lesson from it, and that is to be humble, even when we are outraged. ____________________ Dear Doggie, Did you show 's story to your children? They probably would enjoy reading it, too. Not so much my children, but my grandchildren bring up a lot of things from the past that we experienced together and I used that as a teaching tool. For instance once when I took them shopping, my grandson found a roll of money behind the coke machine in front of the store. They wanted to keep it, but I said we had to talk to the store manager. They didn't have anyone who reported the loss, but I left my phone number in case they did. Then we called the police dept. and filed a report in case someone called them. Soon afterwards my phone rang and it was a girl who worked there as a cashier. She had just cashed her check made a purchase and put the rest of the money in her pocket. She had to justify that it was hers, all the while my grandchildren were in on what I was doing. They were angry that I had returned the money, they thought it was rightfully theirs because they found it. Now they tell me that they never forgot what I taught them and they are glad that I found the rightful owner, because they are now able to put themselves in that girl's place.
