So there's this fellow with a parrot. And this parrot swears like 
a sailor, I mean he's a pistol. He can swear for five minutes

just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the

kitchen cabinet.

the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of

may be hurt.  After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried

man is astounded. He can't understand the transformation that has 
come over the parrot. Then the parrot says, "By the way, what did 
the chicken do?
