A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and
an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
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 more rude. 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.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms 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 behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior,
the bird spoke-up, very softly,
*laughs* Yeah, good luck with that! Though they've at least done better in that area it still isn't great. At least not when it comes to the smaller pets but then it's hard to be intimidating looking when you're so tiny! *laughs*
HAPPY NEW YEAR you smexy thing you! *giggles* Your avi is lookin' good by the way. I know my wish for a good new year is late but like you said better late then never right?
Okay good was just making sure. ^_^ Aw, why thank you ^_^ Your avi is pretty sweet itself!
*chuckles* I'm trying but man sometimes it ain't easy ya know. *shrugs* Lately not very often. Maybe you're right but I don't know brain is kind of dead right now.
Man I know what you mean I've had that problem myself with my own avi. I think yours looks good though.
I don't know..? Nothing much I guess? I haven't been really inspired or motivated lately so...really just kind of passing from day to day doing a few things here and there.
Oh by the way if you want those points for posting in a comment post only "cool avi" nothing more nothing less just those two words and you'll get the points. Feel free to do it in mine if you need a place. ^_~
