I like the pic the [Startle-Gram](http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/state/15232384.htm) had, of a woman walking around with a penguin under her arm. I’m not sure if she’s about to swat it for the escape attempt. “Bad penguin! Bad!” ---

I hesitate to single out any particular post for acclaim here, but this: [QUOTE=IvoryTowerDenizen] I picture the penguins in the ditch muttering to each other “man, this zoo _sucks_!” [/QUOTE] struck me as hilarious. ---

I mean, I am sure they barely make ends meet as is, but a car accident can really set a decent, hard working penguin back. Can you imagine being the first cops on the scene?
