The hospital chaplain sits outside the A and E with a
husband whose wife has just been admitted. The chaplain says in a very
concerned voice, ‘I don’t like the look of your wife at all.’ ‘Me neither,
Father,’ said the husband, ‘but she’s a great cook and really good with the
children.
An old woman was sipping a glass of wine while sitting on
the patio with her husband, and she says ‘I love you so much, I don’t know how
I could live without you.’
Her husband asks, ‘Is that you or the wine talking?’
She replies, ‘It’s me. I was talking to the wine.’
Recently I received a parrot as a gift.

saying only polite words,
playing soft music and anything else I could think of to
"clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot. He yelled back.

I shook him and he got even angrier and ruder.
So, and in desperation, I 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 I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the freezer door.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arm 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
behaviour."
I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As I was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird continued,

"May I ask what the turkey did?"
