Here's the latest Internet joke. Is this ok to tell my 9 year old Cubs?
I thought I'd change the story to say the owner was a Cub Scout or Boy
Scout and he doesn't swear.
Subject: Frozen Food & Other Thoughts
So there is this guy who owns a parrot, and this parrot swears like a
sailor.
I mean he is a pistol. He can swear for 5 minutes without repeating
itself.
The trouble is, the guy that owns the parrot is a quiet conservative type
and the 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
says "QUIT IT" This makes the bird even more mad and he swears more than
ever. The guy gets really made again, and this time throws the parrot in
to
a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravates the bird, and he claws and
scratches and the the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose a
stream
of vulgarities that would make a veteran sailor blush.
At that point, the guy is so mad, he throws the bird in to the freezer.
For
the first few seconds there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws
and
thrashes.
Then, all of the sudden it gets very quiet. At first the guy waits, but
then
thinks that the bird might be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence,
the
guy is so worried that he opens up the freezer.
The bird calmly climbs on the man's outstretched arm and says, "I am
awfully
sorry about the trouble I gave you. I will do my best to improve my
vocabulary in the future."
The man is astounded and can not figure out this instant transformation of
the parrot.
The parrot then says, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"
