Penguins
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:
"freeze a jolly good fellow."

The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

I was in the shed today.....thinking about router stuff.......and AlexS's reply just ran through my mind.
I must admit..I spent the next 30 minutes having those little fits of uncontrollable giggles......tear stuff...sore ribs......the works.
And I've just had another fit now.
I love Oz humour!!
