I know a fowl joke... See there was this parrot. It had quite the filthy mouth. His owner was a person of high moral standing (that's not making fun of him in this circle is it? It would be in some...) who didn't like swearing. One day the parrot got mad and let out a long string of bad words. The guy decided to punish him. So he grabbed the parrot and put him in a cupboard. The bird make an awful ruckus (noise and pounding) and kept it going for hours. The man pulled the parrot out, shook the bird and shouted, "Now will you clean it up?" The parrot let go with such a long streak of ugly, terrible words that the air in the room turned blue! So the man had had enough. He threw the parrot in the freezer. The parrot again made a terrible fuss. But all of a sudden, it got very quiet in the freezer. Not a peep for some time. The man got worried, maybe he'd been too harsh in the punishment and the parrot was dead? So he opened up the freezer and out stepped the parrot onto his arm. The bird made its way up his arm to his shoulder and said: "I'm really sorry for the way I've been acting. I'll clean up my language and you'll be happy to keep me around." The man was stunned. He had to sit down and think about it. As he was walking into the other room, the parrot turned to him and said, "By the way. What did the chicken do?"
