Pam received a parrot for her birthday. This parrot was fully grown, with a bad attitude and a bad vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude.
Pam tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music and anything she could think of. Nothing worked.
She yelled at the bird. The bird got worse. She shook the bird and the bird just got madder and ruder.
Finally , in a moment of desperation, Pam put the bird in the freezer and shut the door. For a few moments she heard the bird squawking and kicking and then suddenly there was quiet.
Pam was frightened that she may have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Pam's extended arm and said, "I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my language and actions and ask for your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior."
Pam was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had caused the change when the parrot continued: "Might I ask what the CHICKEN did?"
