Christmas turkeys.....

David got a parrot for his birthday. Unfortunately, it had
a bad attitude and screamed expletives all the time. David
tried hard to change the bird's behavior by constantly
saying polite words and playing soft music, but nothing
worked. When he yelled at the bird, it just got ruder.

Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot
in the freezer. He heard the bird squawking, kicking and
cursing. Then it got quiet. David worried he had hurt the
bird, so he opened the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped onto David's arm and said,
"I'm sorry that i offended you. I will change my behavior
immediately." Astounded by the bird's sudden politeness,
David was about to ask what had changed him when the
parrot said," May I ask what the turkey did?"
