THE THANKSGIVING PARROT JOKE

 BY DONOVAN BALDWIN


I read a joke oa a closed group the other day and really liked it. Here it is in condensed form.

A guy got a parrot that had previously been owned by a pretty bad fellow. The bird cursed, argued, pecked, and used its claws on the new owner and anyone else who came near.

For weeks, the new owner tried all kinds of things to get the bird to calm down and act better, but nothing seemed to help.

One day, about a week before Thanksgiving, he lost his temper, grabbed the bird, and threw it in the freezer and slammed the door. For several minutes, he heard all kinds of curses, banging, and crashing from inside the freezer, but, after a few moments that all stopped, and there was silence for a while.

Afraid that he had killed the bird, he opened the freezer door.

The parrot quietly, and carefully stepped out and, speaking very softly, said, "I am afraid that my previous behavior was not right, and I truly wish to make amends. Please tell me what I can do to show you that I am a changed bird, and wish only the best for you and your family and hope for a long, respectful relationship between us."

As the owner stared at the bird, suspecting a trick, the parrot continued, "Also, if you don't mind, could I ask what the turkey did?"
