The Vulgar Parrot

So there is this fella with a parrot.  And this parrot swears like a sailor, I mean he is a pistol.  He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself.  Trouble is the guy that owns him is the quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy.

One day it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard and yells, "QUIT IT!"  But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever.

Then the guy gets mad and says, "OK for you." and locks the bird in the cabinet.  This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make even a sailor blush.

At that point the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer.  For the first few seconds there is a terrible din.  The bird kicks and claws.  Then it is very quiet.  At first the guy just waits but then he thinks the bird might be hurt.

After a few minutes he opens the freezer door.  The bird calmly climbs into the man's outstreched arms and says, "Awfully sorry for the trouble I gave you.  I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."

The man is astounded.  He can't understand the transformation that has come over the parrot.

Then the parrot asks, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"
