COLD LESSONS
A guy named John received a parrot for his birthday.
The parrot was fully grown, with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude.
John tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try and set a good example. Nothing worked.
He yelled at the bird and the bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got more angry and more rude. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawk and kick and scream. Then suddenly there was quiet.
Not a sound for half a minute. John was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's extended arm and said,
"I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and beg your forgiveness."
John was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had made such a dramatic change when the parrot continued,
"And precisely what, if I may be so bold as to ask, did the chicken do?"
