  My husband and I are divided as to whether you are making all this up or not, it's so bizarre! Did your ex-JW friend teach him those phrases after he left? "The Society says" is such a ridiculous line that a parrot saying it is so appropos!

  I think he picked it up from my friend's pioneer sister wife. She always retorted with "The Society says" when we were out in Field Service together and someone in the car group asked a question or mentioned anything. Another one of my former friends who is still 'in' used to say she is an elderette. You know how pushy some of those pioneer sisters were, right? Her husband was a MS for awhile but stepped down. I think that upset her a lot. She got really cranky after that happened and I doubt it was from PMS because it never subsided. I think her attitude helped get her husband out of the cult and she isn't even aware of that. She will never speak to me so I doubt that I'll ever know. It was her idea to get rid of him. He was another unecessary distraction because she had to clean his cage and give him fresh water because her husband works to support them and she pioneers. If I was him and 'out' I would make her get a job with income and benefits. His name is Bernard and he has a bit of red under his tail feathers. Well, gotta run. I have almost 500 Christmas cards to personalize and give. Isn't Christmas Great !!!!

  I know you must be good friends, but don't you think you're getting awfully familiar? To know what's under his tail feathers?????.

  He doesn't mind if I rub his head or back with my fingernails but he gets a bit nervous when I head towards his tail feathers. I checked to see if he had an 'innie' or an 'outie' (I later learned that you can't determine their sex like that) when I was trying to determine his gender. He got really upset when I started messing around with him down there so I had to stop the investigation. Hey wait a minute, he's my bird. If I want to get real familiar with him that's our biznis, not yours.

  A woman went to a pet shop & immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage that said £50.00. "Why so little," she asked the petshop owner. The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of Prostitution, and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff." The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird any way. She took it home, and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam." The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought, that's really not so bad. When her 2 teenage daughters returned from school the bird saw them and said, "New house, new madam, new girls." The girls and the woman began to laugh about the situation, considering how and where the parrot had been raised. Moments later the woman's husband, Keith, came home from work. The bird looked at him and said, "Hi, Keith!"
