Repentance?
19 Answers
I thought my incredibly intelligent and literate friends on R&S might appreciate this - but sorry guys, the only connection I can make between religion and the joke is that I was once acquainted with a very handsome parrot who spoke in the most colourful and shocking language - and his name was Moses. A very Merry Christmas everyone.
The Parrot
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music, and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up, and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the parrot got angrier and became even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird, and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes, the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said to John, 'I believe I may have offended you with my vulgar language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my belligerent and unforgivable behaviour.'
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. Just as he was about to ask the parrot what had caused such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird continued, 'May I ask what the turkey did?'

Cetti So pleased I gave you a laugh - although I'm sorry if it's had an adverse effect on the Christmas baking!! How was your evening of Carols? I thought of you as I was warbling(?) along with ours on Friday night - even though I knew that you and I wouldn't be singing in unison due to the time difference! Thank you - and a very happy Christmas to you and yours too.
Incidentally I hope you were sober when indulging in the singing of carols. Whilst even slightly intoxicated, trying to sing the tongue-twisting line
♫ Thus spake the seraph and forthwith,
appeared a shining throng ♫
From �While shepherds watch� can cause significant personal embarrassment and some rather dirty looks from the choirmaster.
