Well of course he was walking along the road- he’s a penguin, they can’t fly and they’re too short to drive. ---

He couldn’t call a taxi? Take a bus? ---

Typically, the formal wear worn by penguins has no pockets, he’d probably not got his wallet. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > There’s an awesome Monty Python sketch with them shooting a movie on a beach being attacked by a giant 50 foot penguin. Sadly YouTube search was no help finding it. Someone else may have better luck than I. That’s in “Scott of the Antarctic.” Penguin appears at 16:00. [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5v0vm7](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5v0vm7) ---

Well, to get back to the OP, it happened to me some years ago: I crossed a penguin on the road and took him to the police station. They told me " We can’t take care of a penguin. Take him to the zoo" The next morning, the police officer saw me in the street, again with the penguin. He asked “Didn’t you took him to the zoo?” and I responded “Yes, and he liked it. Today we’re going to the fair” 😆 ---
