An old religious woman goes to a pet store

An old religious woman goes to a pet store to buy a parrot. Everything is fine until she brings it

home. It begins to swear uncontrollably. F this, F that, F you and finally the lady can stand it no

more. She grabs the bird, shoves it in the freezer, and slams the door shut. Squawking,

shrieking, pounding, and cursing come out of the freezer for a few moments and then it goes quiet.

The woman is scared that she has hurt the bird and opens the freezer. The parrot walks calmly

out and steps gently onto the woman’s outstretched hand. He looks into the lady’s eyes and

says “Ma’am, I am truly sorry if my language offended you and it will not recur. If I may ask,

what did the chicken do?”
