Friday OT:...
Ya'll have a great weekend...time to get off this addiction!
Have you heard about the man who owned a parrot that swore like a sailor? This parrot was so terrible, it could swear for five minutes straight without repeating itself. One day the man finally got tired of this parrot's horrible speech, and decided to do something about it.
He grabbed the parrot by the throat, shaked it really hard, and yelled, "QUIT IT!" every time the parrot said something ungodly. But this just made the parrot mad, and it swore more than ever.
Next the man tried locking the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravated the parrot, and it clawed and scratched furiously until the man finally let him out (upon which the bird released it's fury in a torrent of language so horrible it could never be repeated).
At that point, the man was so frustrated that he threw the parrot into the freezer. For the first few seconds the parrot made a terrible amount of noise in protest to this treatment, kicking, clawing, and thrashing about. But after a few moments it suddenly went very quiet.
As the silence grew longer the man started to think that the parrot may be hurt. After a couple minutes of silence, he became so worried that he opened up the freezer door. The parrot calmly climbed onto the man's outstretched arm and said, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."
Of course, the man was astounded. He could not understand the transformation that had come over his unruly parrot.
Then the parrot quietly whispered in his ear, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"

Re: Friday OT:...THANKS
Just had to tell you that for the last few months, I've really appreciated your jokes on Fridays. Every week my husband goes for breakfast with the guys he works with and takes the jokes along with him. Everybody loves them. A great ending to the week for everyone. Again, THANKS from all of us.

Noooo.... Thank You!! 
that made my day, and I've only been up half an hour. Sometimes I wonder if it ticks off the vets of the board. On to coffee and housework, got the outlaws coming down for Thanksgiving.
