Tommy received a talking parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and a very wide but profane vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's' mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.  

Tommy 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, Tommy was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.

The parrot yelled back. Tommy shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. Tommy, in desperation, threw up his hands, 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, Tommy quickly opened the door to the freezer. 

The parrot calmly stepped out on to Tommy'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."

Tommy was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As Tommy was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, and very softly asked,

"May I ask what the turkey did?"
