I told him, I couldn’t help him!
A young man named George brought a parrott into my office Friday.
A parrott !
He said it needed counseling. Could I help?
I pointed out to George that birds were not my expertise and I didn’t see how I could help him. After some discussion, he convinced me to keep the bird overnight and see what I could do.
Well………..
I found out in a short time,
The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude,
obnoxious and laced with profanity.
I had no patients scheduled for the rest of the morning so I decided to give this bird some attention.
I tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude
by consistently saying only polite words,
playing soft music and anything else I could
think of to “clean up” the bird’s vocabulary.
Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back.
I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
In desperation, I threw up my hands,
grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet.
Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
What would George say when he came in tomorrow to pick up his bird.
I was worried that George would not understand.
Fearing that I’d hurt the parrot,
I quickly opened the door to the freezer.
To my amazement,
The parrot calmly stepped out onto
my outstretched arms and said,
“I believe I may have offended you with my
rude language and actions.
I’m sincerely remorseful for
my inappropriate transgressions and
I fully intend to do everything
I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.”
I was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude.
And as I was about to ask the parrot what had made
such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued,
“May I ask what the turkey did?”

Seeking New Patience
My patient list is growing, but I can squeeze in one or two more folks.
Pull up a chair, have a seat,
THE DOCTOR IS IN !
Last week was very busy:
-
Monday – spent most of the morning trying to recover from yesterday’s day off. Drank several cups of coffee. Devised survival plan for the rest of the week. Met with a few patients, discussing their needs, my suggestions and dreaming of the Easter Bunny.
-
Tuesday – More clients, more deadlines, more headaches………………..
-
Wednesday – another exciting day……………………………………………………………………………………..
-
Thursday – I like to call this hump day. Over half-way until my next day off…………. thus *over the hump*
-
Friday – My patience is growing thinner.
-
Saturday – the last day of the week. Hurry up 4 0′clock.
Another 40 hour, 50+ hour work-week is almost over. Whewwwwwwwwww !
ps.
A note to myself………………………….I need to start planning my next vacation.
pss.
Another note to self…………………….Proud to be living the *American Dream*
pss.
One more note to self…………………If I had more patience, I would seek more patients, but since lately I seem to have less patience, would I be better off with less patients.

No More Comments, Please!
From: Doctor Bill’s Office
Subject: No More Comments, PLEASE !
Please do not send Dr. Bill any more insulting comments concerning his video, which was attached to his St. Patrick’s Day Greeting. He is particularly peeved about references concerning his appearance.
He was quoted as saying:
-
“For Pete’s sake, You know I don’t look good in Green”
-
“Those were not my shoes !!! “
-
“Eee Gads, That wasn’t my hair” “Was it?”
-
“Of course you realize that wasn’t me, it was my stunt double”
-
“I’m not even Irish !!! “
Oh Well……………..
May the luck of the Irish be with you.
Dr. Bill
Happy St. Patrick’s Day – A Little Early
I started celebrating a little early. (See attached video).
I think I was having a bad hair day,
or it got messed up when I hit my head on the Pot-o-Gold ?
See what you think!
