Subject: RE: BS: Eddie Whatnoll to stand up!
Olive received the parrot for her birthday. The parrot was fully-grown, with a bad attitude and a worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude. Olive 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, Olive 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. Olive was frightened that she may have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Olive'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." Olive 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?"
