"Are you telling Jokes? I love Jokes!"

I liked that last joke so much, I thought I would revive another joke from our past. I goes like this:

A man was driving his truck down the freeway one day when he was pulled over by a police officer. The officer walked up to the driver's side window and said "Sir, are you aware you have a penguin in the back of your truck?"
The man responded, "Well, of course I am."
The officer then told the man, "Listen, I don't know what you think you're doing, but you need to take that penguin to the zoo right now."
The next day, the same police officer say the same man truck on the same freeway with the same penguin in the back. This time, however, the penguin was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and he was holding a beach ball and an umbrella. The officer pulled the man over again and said to him "I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo!?" The man responded "I did, and now I'm taking him to the beach!"

Best. Joke. Ever. I have distinct memories of telling that joke in Michelle Swindler's kitchen. I think it was summer time, but it might have also been when we were making (nasty) snow icecream. John, I think that was your idea, and I would like to say that I don't think it was a very good one, in retrospect. Sorry.

That is a great joke, but I always told it with many penquins in the back on the truck, and since it was my joke, I think my way is correct. Don't anyone try to argue that it wasn't my joke, because I've been using it ever since some missionary told it to me when I was 8 years old in New Orleans!

It probably works better with lots of penguins, since that's more of a party. Some dude with a single penguin in the back is very odd, and it makes me believe the penguin is being abused (sexually). That's gross, I can't believe you would think that Matt.

But at the same time, I think its kinda funny to think of this guy trying to show this one penguin a good time. Hahahahaha.

I suppose that is rather humorous to think of him going through all this trouble just to amuse 1 penguin. Maybe the penguin is sexually abusing the dude!
