Being the resident know-it-all let me impart some of the world wisdom to you.
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 maintaining 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:
"Fr..eeze a jolly good fellow" ......
"Fr..eeze a jolly good fellow." ......
"Fr..eeze a jolly good fell..ow"......
"Then they kick him in the ice hole." !!!
You didn't really believe that I knew anything about penguins, did you?

There is a similar one about killing a polar bear by only using a peanut. Polar bears naturally go for holes in the ice to wait for seals to come up for air, so you find one of these holes and place a peanut at the edge of the hole. When the polar bear goes for the peanut you kick him in the ice hole. I'd guess (since polar bears can swim) you'd need a gun handy too. Who's without a gun when stalking polar bears anyway? I like your joke better Geland
