Pet Shop Parrot

   
      Ben and Jake, two college students, bought a parrot from a pet
      shop.   The parrot was highly intelligent, but all he ever did
      was swear. He  had an amazing  vocabulary.  He could swear for
      five  minutes straight without repeating himself. At first the
      two room mates thought it was the coolest bird ever, but after
      days and nights of constant verbal abuse and obscenities, even
      the students couldn't take it anymore.
   
      "Dude, we gonna have to teach that bird a lesson," Ben said.
      
      He grabbed the parrot by the neck and stuck him in the frig.
      
      "That'll cool him off a bit!"
      
      For the first few seconds all hell seemed to break loose.  The
      bird  kicked and clawed and thrashed. Then suddenly everything
      was very quiet.
      
      The two students started to worry that the bird might be hurt,
      so Jake opened the fridge.
      
      The parrot calmly climbed onto Jakes outstretched arm and said
      in a very polite manner:  "Awfully  sorry about the  trouble I
      gave you.Ill do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."
      
      Ben and Jake were totally amazed. They couldn't understand the
      transformation that had come over the parrot.
      
      After a few minutes the parrot asked:"By the way, what did the
      chicken do?"
