Emma received a parrot from her son for her birthday. The parrot turned out to be very rude and it's vocabulary was quite obscene. Every other word was an obscenity. Emma tried hard to teach the parrot to use better language and was constantly saying polite words to it and trying to correct it's language. She even tried putting a cover over the bird's cage whenever it used an obscenity but nothing worked. Finally, in a moment of frustration, Emma grabbed the bird and put it in the freezer. She heard the bird squawking and then suddenly, there was quiet.

Emma, afraid she might have killed the parrot, quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot slowly stepped out and said "I believe I may have offended you with my obscene language. I really am very sorry and beg your forgiveness." Emma was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had made such a dramatic change when the parrot continued, "If you don't mind may I ask what the chicken did?"
