The Foul-Mouthed Parrot and the Priestly Intervention

Once upon a time, there was a man who had a parrot that always swore. No matter what the man did, the parrot would always come up with new and creative curse words.

One day, the man had finally had enough and decided to take the parrot to see a priest. The priest listened to the man's problem and promised to help.

The next day, the priest took the parrot into the church and placed him in a cage. He sprinkled holy water on the bird and started reciting prayers.

To the man's surprise, the parrot began to shake and convulse. Suddenly, the parrot stopped swearing and started reciting the Lord's Prayer. The man was amazed and asked the priest how he had managed to change the parrot's behavior.

The priest replied, "Well, I didn't do anything special. I just realized that the parrot needed a dose of religion. So, I dunked him in holy water and now he's a bird of pray!"
