Gratias Paolo pro le historia del ECC e le anglese. :-)))

Hic un historia de lo que occurreva a un Papagallo...

Il habeva iste typo que era Domino de un Papagallo que diceva
troppo obscenitates e vulgaritates.  Iste Papagallo poteva dicer
parolas obscen pro cinque minuttas sin arrestar e sin repeter se!
Le problema esseva que iste typo que era le Domino esseva un senior
multo recervate e phlegmatic, e conservative, e le bucca tanto obscen del
Papagallo lo deveniva insan.  Un die le senior non
pote supportar plus, e tunc ille sasiva le Papagallo per le colle
e lo succute multo forte, e dice in alte voce "Arresta isto!".
Autem isto non suffice e sol resulta in plus insultos del Papagallo.  Tunc
le typo deveni multo inrabiate e dice "OK, ben
como tu vole!" e pone le ave inserrate in un cabinete del cucina.
Isto vermente aggravava al ave e ille comencia a dar colpos e piccar in le
cabinete, quando le typo le pone libere, le ave
bulbucea un turrente de insultos obscen e vulgaritates que poterea
facer que un marinero veteran esseva avergoniate!  A iste puncto,
le typo es tanto inrabiate que lancea le Papagallo in le compartimento
gelate del refrigerator (le cryogenico).

Per le prime minuttas il ha un serie de ruitos strepitante jam que
le Papagallo colpava con le pedes e le becco e faceva multo tumulto
e tunc il omne deveniva multo, multo silentiose.  Primarimente
le senior solmente sperava, mais ille comenciava a pensar que
possibilemente le ave pote esser injuriate.

Depost de un par de minuttas de silentio, ille esseva tanto
preoccupate que ille aperi le porta del refrigerator.

Tunc, le ave se monta super le brachio del homine e dice:
"Io regretta multo dar vos tanto problemas. Io facera toto
possibile pro ameliorar mi vocabulario in le futuro."

Le Domino del ave esseva attunite! Ille non pote comprender
le transformation del Papagallo.  Tunc le Papagallo diceva:
"A proposito, que faceva le pullo pro esser illac?"

 There was this fella with a parrot, and this parrot swears
     like a sailor.  He can swear for five minutes straight
     without repeating himself.  Trouble is, the guy who owns him
     is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is
     driving him crazy.  One day, it gets to be too much, so the
     guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard,
     and yells, "QUIT IT!"  But this just makes the bird mad and
     he swears more than ever.  Then the guy gets really mad and
     says, "Okay for you," and locks the bird in a kitchen
     cabinet.  This really aggravates the bird and he claws and
     scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird
     cuts loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make a
     veteran sailor blush.  At that point, the guy is so mad that
     he throws the bird into the freezer.

     For the first few seconds there is a terrible din.  The bird
     kicks and claws and thrashes.  Then it suddenly gets VERY
     quiet.  At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to
     think that the bird may be hurt.
     After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that
     he opens up the freezer door.

     The bird calmly climbs onto the man's outstretched arm and
     says, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you.  I'll do
     my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."

     The man is astounded.  He can't understand the
     transformation that has come over the parrot.  Then the
     parrot says, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"
