Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother.
The first said, "I built a big house for our mother."
The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."
The third said, "I've got you both beat. You know how Mom enjoys reading the "book" and you know she can't see very well? I sent her a large brown parrot that can recite the entire "book". It took 12 teachers 20 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $1,000,000 a year for twenty years but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks.
She wrote to the first son, "Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
She wrote to the second son, "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never use the Mercedes and the driver is SO rude."
She wrote to the third son, "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious."

From Occupied Palestine:
We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
that dumb bird deserved to be eaten, he couldn't parrot out don't eat me you blind broad? and how did she manage to cook him anyway, a nearly blind woman can distinguish between a bird and an ear-shell.. come on something is quite fishy.. I believe the bird dodged the crazy broad and went on vacation somewhere in the canary islands.. that woman probably did indeed eat a chicken which wondered into her new house.. chickens are the dumbest birds....
Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him
It was the parrots fault. The bird was very egotistical and arrogant. It tried to show off and show it was bi-lingual. big mistake when it spoke chicken and said "cluck, cluck bwaak, cluck cluck"
