An Older Man, Living Alone.

An older man, living alone, decided he wanted to add a pet companion to his life.

After thinking long and hard about the decision,

he buys a parrot and brings it home.

However, the parrot almost immediately starts insulting the older man and gets really rude.

In a moment of frustration, the man picks up the parrot and tosses it into the freezer to teach it a lesson.

But when the bird stops squawking, the man panics and opens the freezer.

The parrot walks out, looks up at the man, and says,

“I apologize for offending you, and I humbly ask your forgiveness.”

The man replies,

“Well, thank you. I forgive you, and I’m sorry too.”

The parrot then says,

“If you don’t mind my asking… what’d the chicken do?”
