One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you’re lucky then the god’s a she

A diamond is forever but what happens if you throw a parrot into the mix?

Well, you find out how much you love parrots. Either you wait around, carefully gathering parrot droppings until you get your diamonds back, or you flay that parrot open right now like a Christmas goose and get your gems.

Bangkok is a most interesting city.

But I found the air awful.

And the temples fascinating.

My daughter found herself in possession of a Macaw. We kept it for one year.

The only positive from my end of the experience is a I did not go to a mental institution, although I came close.

No, but I do have a pretty good Hassenpfeffer recipe. Just substitute “parrot” for “wabbit.”

(note: until I spellchecked this, I did not think “Hassenpfeffer” was a real thing LOL)

I don’t know how well a parrot would deal with all that rich food.

Boudreau bought a his wife Clotile a parrot.
When he got it home and gave it to her, the parrot started using some of the most fowl language Boudreau had ever heard.
Nothing they tried worked.
So out of frustration Boudreau told the parrot, “Every time you use bad language, I’m going to stick you in this freezer.”
And he put the bird in the freezer.
After a minute, Boudreau got the parrot out, and asked, “Now are you going to use bad language?”
The parrot answered, “No Sir!”.
Boudreau said “Good.”
The parrot asked, “Just out of curiosity, what did that chicken in there do?”
