Joe took him anyway.
First day: nothing.
Second day: the parrot shouted, “You call this sailing? I’ve seen smoother rides on a banana boat!”
On the third day, the parrot yelled, “You steer like you’ve got seaweed for brains!”
So Joe put the parrot in the freezer for 10 minutes.
When he let him out, the parrot said, “Sir, I apologize. But… can I ask one thing?”
Joe said, “Sure.”
Parrot whispered, “What did the chicken do?”
