Title: Little known facts about penguins
Post by: Raydar on January 13, 2021, 09:34:36 pm
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica – where do they go? Wonder no more!! It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

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, 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.

Why did the penguin have lots of friends?

Because he was an ice guy.

I'm sorry about that one!

How did the penguin pass his driving test?

He winged it.

Not getting any better but am hoping if I keep going one might be useful when FF does his comedy stand up tour.

I don't need dialogue.  All I have to do is stand up in front of a crowd and they start laughing.  They throw money at me and I walk out with my pockets stuffed.  Funny, I never get a return engagement.  I wonder if they're paying me to leave. 

But thanks for the thought and effort.

Next time, sit down in front of a crowd.  It's more difficult to pocket the money, but moore money comes in.

Why are penguins good racing car drivers?

Because they are always in pole position.

Um, that is for the start of the race.  If you finisted the race in the pole position, you would lose.

It works because pole position also applies to a leading or dominant position...not just to the initial starting position in a race.

I think it's ready for FFs stand up tour should he choose to use it.

The most favorable position at the start of an automobile race, typically on the inside of the front row of competitors.

The pole only exists at the start of the race.  Either way, it applies to a stationary object.

Oxford English Dictionary ... A leading or dominating position.

I'm happy that this works for a quip about penguins driving. 

It's there is FF wants it. ◉‿◉

Ah, yes, the Oxford dictionary.

Quote

The other use applies, as stated, ONLY to static objects.  Stationary.  Still.

Pole position is where the stationary pole is--at the start of the race.

But, whatever.

Maybe he has stopped/stationary waiting for the others to catch up.

Why sure.  I was beginning to think no one cared.

PK, do you want that end, or this end?  I'll go find my club.

It wouldn't be a good career move if I beat any kind of horse alive or dead. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯
