Joke?

A young man named John 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. John 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, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, 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, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John'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."John 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 spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

My time has been messed up for a few days too. I keep falling asleep around midnight and waking up early in the morning.
I'm making myself stay up tonight to get back on track.

Turkeys in all your posts tonight.

Maybe eating some turkey would help ya sleep?

Thanks for explaining the video I could hear :) Sounds delicious.

I remember a joke about a carpet layer putting down a carpet and when he got all done he noticed that there was a small lump in it - so he feels his pockets and can't find his cigarettes and thinks - hmm... must of dropped the pack - so he takes his hammer out and mashes out the lump.

The homeowner comes in off the patio and hands him back his cigarettes and says, "I couldn't stand that noisy parrot any more! How'd you get him to shut up?"

And my mom always says, "Iggy, tell them the parrot joke..."
