SFV JUNKIE!!!
Posted
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, by 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 ruder.

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?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope everyone has a great one.

That was cute, Don!

I just wanted to send out a very Happy Thanksgiving to my SFV family since I probably won't be w/you all for the next few days. I'm going out of town, leaving in the next few minutes as a matter of fact, and won't be back until Saturday or Sunday! I hope all your Thanksgiving's are blessed and filled w/many happy memories!

Talk to you all again really soon!! Be safe!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
