Dead Penguins

[Dr. Robert]

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica-where do they go?

Wonder no more.......your faithful servant, Dr. Robert has done extensive research in the field.......

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an
extremely ordered & complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family
& will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact
w/ its offspring throughout its life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family
& social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial
wings & beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, & buried.

The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave & sing:

"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."

Then, they kick him into the ice hole.
