An elderley woman was looking for a pet to be a good companion and what would be no trouble.
The local pet shop owner showed her a parrot and told her it would make a wonderful companion.
The woman asked him if it would behave if she took it to church with her on a Sunday morning.
The pet shop owner said it shouldnt be a problem and that she could put it on her shoulder and it would stay there.
She bought the parrot and for the next week she spent time getting to know it.
Assured that it spoke properley and was well behaved,she put it on her shoulder and went off to church.
Just as everyone inside settled down, and the sermon began,The parrot looked up, squawked and said\"Its bloody cold in here\".
Everyone turned to look at her and she ran out of the church in total embarresment. All the next week, she talked to the parrot explaining the necessity to remain quiet during church.
The parrot understood, so she put it on her shoulder and went to church the following Sunday.
Once again,just as everything got quiet and the sermon began, the parrot squawked, looked around and proudly proclaimed\"\"Its bloody cold in here\".
And again the woman ran from the church. The next day she returned to the pet shop and explained the embarrassing situation to the owner.
Since she didnt want to get rid of the parrot,the owner offered her the following solution;- \"If the parrot does that again,grab him by the legs and swing him round above your head 5 or 6 times then return him to your shoulder\".
\"Will that work?\". asked the woman
\"Guaranteed\" said the pet shop owner.
So, the next Sunday she took the parrot with her to church and sure enough as the sermon started the parrot squawked and said\"Its bloody cold in here\".
Without hesitation the woman grabbed the parrot by its legs, swung it round 5 or 6 times above her head, then returned it to her shoulder.
The parrot shook its head, ruffled its feathers and said\"Pretty F***in windy too!\".
