The parrot said, “He bought me at the pet store downtown.”

23. A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage that said $50 for the bird. “Why so little?” she asked the pet store owner.
The owner looked around and whispered quietly, “Because I need to get rid of him. He used to live in a brothel and as you can imagine, he says quite a few vulgar things.”
The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the beautiful bird. She took him home and hung his cage up in the living room. The bird looked around and said, “New madam, new house.” The woman giggled thinking it was cute.
Later when her two teenage daughters returned from school, the bird spotted them and said, “New girls, new girls!” The woman turned red but chalked it up to the parrot’s past.

24. 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 behavior 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 continued, “May I ask what the turkey did?”
