I did not title the subject as NON PD in hopes that those who delete NON PD would take a few moments to read this. Thought it was time to send this to everyone what with all the arguing and discord going on (I love a good debate)! I guess you could assume the parrot to be anyone on any side of any issue and the guy represents any of the list police on the other side of the issue. The swearing can represent anything someone disagrees with and wants to prohibit. I just thought it was very funny, and I may have posted it sometime in the past. Please don't anyone take offense. I know that we have to be able to laugh at ourselves and I also know (it has been scientifically proven) that humor and laughter has a healing effect (both mentally and physically). >There's this fellow with a parrot. And the parrot >swears like a sailor. I mean he's a pistol. He >can swear for five minutes straight without >repeating himself. Trouble is, the guy who owns >him is a quiet, polite, conservative type, and >this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy. > >One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs >the parrot by the throat, shakes him really hard, >and yells, 'QUIT IT!'. This just makes the bird >mad and he swears more than ever. > >Then the guy gets mad and says 'OK for you' and >locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really >aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches. >When the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts >loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make >a veteran sailor blush. > >At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws >the bird into the freezer. For the first few >seconds there is a terrible din. The bird kicks >and claws and thrashes and uses words Lenny Bruce >and George Carlin NEVER thought about trying to >use in their acts. > >Then suddenly, it gets VERY quiet. > >At first the guy just waits, but then he starts >to think that the bird may be hurt or deeply >chilled. After a couple of minutes of silence, >he's so worried that he opens the freezer door. > >The bird calmly climbs onto the man's outstretched >arm and says, 'Awfully sorry about the trouble I >gave you. I'll do my best to improve my >vocabulary from now on.' > >The man is astonished. He can't understand the >transformation that has taken place. > >Then the parrot says, 'By the way, what did the >chicken do?'
