1) A guy walks into a pet store wanting to buy a talking bird. He sees an African Grey and says to the bird, "Hey, can you speak, Stupid?" The grey replies, "Yes, can you fly, Dummy?"
2) Once there was this man who owned an African Grey. Like other parrots, this one could talk but it preferred to swear. In fact it could swear for hours on end without taking a break. The problem with all of this was that the man was a quiet, conservative man and all this swearing was driving him crazy. One day the grey was carrying on again and the man had finally had enough. So he jumped up, grabbed the grey, and starting yelling at it to stop cursing. This only made the parrot curse more until the guy finally lost his temper and shoved the bird into a cabinet.
The parrot got quiet for a few seconds, but then started cursing even worse than before. It started scratching at the door and making a horrible racket until finally the man let it out. Losing his temper completely the man shoved the grey into the freezer and slammed the door shut. Again the parrot started cursing and carrying on, but then it quieted down and didn't do anything for a couple minutes. By this time the man was starting to get worried that the parrot was dead so he opened the door.
Quickly the parrot flew out onto the man's shoulder and said, "I'm terribly sorry about my foul language and rude behavior. I'll do my best to improve them in the future." The man was stunned at how polite the parrot was behaving and was quite pleased with himself. Then the parrot leaned over to the guy, motioned at the freezer, and said, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"
THIS ONE IS FOR AN OLDER AUDIENCE
3) A pet store had a parrot they were selling as a "talking bird." A customer walked in and asked, "What does this parrot say?" The store owner replied, "Light a match under the parrot's left foot and see for yourself." The customer did and the parrot started singing, "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way..."
"Now try the right foot," said the owner. The customer moved the match under the parrot's right foot and the parrot started singing, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..." "That's neat," the customer said. "But what if I hold the match BETWEEN the parrot's feet?" "I don't know," said the owner. "Try it." So the customer lit another match and held it between the parrot's feet. The parrot hesitated, then started singing, "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..."
