			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got this through email a while ago, thought I&#8217;d share:</p>
<blockquote><p>A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.</p>
<p>The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird&#8217;s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.</p>
<p>John tried and tried to change the bird&#8217;s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to &#8220;clean up&#8221; the bird&#8217;s vocabulary.</p>
<p>Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.</p>
<p>John, in desperation, threw up his hand, 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.</p>
<p>Fearing that he&#8217;d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.</p>
<p>The parrot calmly stepped out onto John&#8217;s outstretched arms and said, &#8220;I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I&#8217;m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.&#8221;</p>
<p>John was stunned at the change in the bird&#8217;s attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued,</p>
<p>&#8220;May I ask what the turkey did?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
