"Foul-Mouthed Parrot" joke
Ben had received a parrot for his birthday. It was full grown and, although very beautiful, had a nasty attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every other word that came out of the parrot's mouth was an expletive and those that weren't were, to put it mildly, downright rude.
Ben tried diligently to change the bird's attitude. He always used polite words, played soft music, did anything he could think of, but nothing seemed to work.
He yelled at the bird, but the bird got worse. He shook the bird, but that only made him worse too. Finally, in a moment of desperation, he put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he was able to hear the bird squawking, swearing, kicking and screaming. Then, suddenly, there was absolute quiet.
Afraid that he had actually caused harm to the parrot, Ben quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Ben's extended arm and said, "I deeply apologize if I offended you with my language and my actions and beg your forgiveness. I promise that I shall endeavor to correct my behavior."
Astounded by the changes in the bird's attitude, Ben was just about to ask him what had changed him when the parrot continued...
"If I may ask, what did the chicken do?"
