The Retired Chief And The Chicken Ranch

The old Chief finally retired from the Navy and got that chicken ranch

he always wanted. He took with him his lifelong pet parrot.

The chicken ranch had a mixture of brown and white chickens.

First morning at 0430, the parrot squeaked and said, "Off yer hocks and

don yer socks. Reveille."

The old chief told the parrot, "we are no longer in the Navy. Go back to

sleep."

The next morning, the parrot did the same thing. The old Chief told the

parrot, "Look, if you keep this up, I will put you out in the chicken

pen."

Again the parrot did it, and true to his word, the Chief put the parrot

in the chicken pen. About 0630, the Chief was awakened by one heck of a

ruckus in the chicken pen. He went out to see what was the matter.

The parrot had about 40 white chickens in formation and on the ground

lay 3 bruised and beaten brown ones with out any feathers on them. The

parrot was saying, "By God, when I say fall out in dress whites, I don't

mean Khakis!"
