I once saw a mob of flatulent penguins attacking Bob Saget’s groin.
Funny? A little, but it was more of a _spiritual_ experience.

I havn’t thought of that story in _decades_ (I’m 41). I just popped over to Ebay to get it. Thanks for the blast from the past!

The penguinhavior that cracks me up is when they come flying out of the water and land feet first on an iceberg and walk off like the feat was no big deal. What if people could do that? How cool would that be to propel yourself through the community pool water at those speeds and then fly out and fall right in step with someone you wanted to talk to? Or, conversely, what I’d probably rather see is some penguin slowly swim up next to an iceberg, plop one flipper over the side, then the other and kicking like mad just get enough out of the water to where he could flop his belly over and then roll on over, plant another flipper and, exhaustedly, pick himself up and use said flipper to squeegee his sweat off.

What ever happened to those (German?) penguins who all decided to migrate around their moat for days on end?
