A mother had 3 sons. They each wanted to impress her with a fantastic gift for her 75th birthday. The oldest bought her a beautiful mansion.But she said,"I only live in one room, but I have to clean the whole house!"
The second son bought her a convertible, and hired a chauffeur for her. He was sure she would be pleased, but she said, "I don't like to go out, and the chauffeur is rude!"
The third son was confident he would please her. He knew her eyesight had been failing, so for years he had been planning a gift for her. He had bought a parrot and taken it to a monastery. He paid the monks $100,000 a year to train the parrot to memorize Scripture and recite it.
Now, after 10 years, the monks had announced the parrot was ready. He knew the whole Bible and could recite any verses when given the reference. The son had the parrot delivered to his mother's doorstep, and waited to hear her response.
She was immensely pleased.

She said," You, of all my sons, know where my heart is and what would please me. Thank you so much. The chicken was delicious!"

And the moral of the story is...
3rd time's the charm, says son #3!
No the moral of the story is Wild Game Tastes Like Chicken..or so I keep telling Jess!
Or perhaps if you can't hear your meal quoting the ten commandments (thou shalt not murder) on the way to the oven....Its time for a new hearing aid.
That's got to be Darrell speaking. Perhaps if the bird had quoted the appropriate commndment at the right time he might have saved his life!
