Penguin Facts
« on: November 23, 2011, 02:00:29 PM »
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antartica...where did they go?

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an ordered and complex life. The penguin is committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout their lives.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, digging until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.

The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:










"Freeze a jolly good fellow"

"Freeze a jolly good fellow"


Then they kick him in the ice hole.

Scott, Scott, Scott...

Son, When did you close the store today, or are you simply imbibing at work?

Since we're on the subject of the animal/bird kingdom, one of my cutomers sent me this today...

Quote
A man on a business trip in Mexico decides to take in a bull fight. After the event, he stops in to the little dive next to the venue called "The Matador".As he checks out the menu trying to decide what he wants he sees a waiter bring a dish to another customer. The dish is spaghetti with these two huge meat balls. When the waiter comes to his table, he inquires. "That is theMatador Special" replies the waiter. "Spaghetti and Bull testicles. We get them after the bull fight. It is exquisite!""That's what I'll have!", says the businessman."I'm very sorry senor, but that dish is only available once per day".Disappointed, the man orders another dish and plans to try again the next day.So again, the next day he goes to the bull fights, and afterwards stops into the dive. Just as the waiter is coming to his table, he sees another waiter bringing the "Matador Special" to another customer who was there before him."Damn!" he says to himself. "And tomorrow's my last day here."So the next day, he skips the bull fight, and stands in line at the cafe. He is the first one seated, and proudlyproclaims, "I'll have the Matador Special!""Very well, senor!" responds the waiter. Soon afterwards, the waiter brings out his dish, but the meat balls are disappointingly small. Very small, as a matter of fact."What's with this!" the now angry man shouts."I'm very sorry, senor" said the waiter, "but the bull does not always lose!"

Good thing we don't eat penguins or bulls for Thanksgiving!

Fitz my friend, best to you and Beth as well...have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Bob, read your menu...sounds awesome! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Maggie!

And yes, did close a bit early today. Am just now partaking of an alcoholic beverage, because just got home from Zumba class. I really like Zumba class.
