SUBJECT: PENGUIN JOKES.
Ah! The infamous McVities Penguin!
Starting this week, I'll be uploading some of the finest Penguin jokes as I come across them, for your eyes only.
As many of you will be aware, a certain trend has developed in recent years of the Penguin joke.
Once upon a time, when no child's lunchbox would be complete without a Peguin, a packet of Wosits (or Cheetos) and a cheese and ham sandwich, McVitites were pulling out all the stops.
Such gems included my personal favourite:
Q: What do you call a penguin without any eyes?..
A: A fsh!
But, as time went on, the sense of appeal started to dwindle, and jokes were replaced with facts. All of a sudden, lunch times were ruined. How could you possibly enjoy your lunch without a light-hearted penguin joke?
Recently, however, mother bear re-introduced the penguin multi-pack to the Satchell household. Penguins had reclaimed their rightful position in the cereal cupboard.
Much to my delight, the facts have vanished to make way for the heroic return of the Penguin joke.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for... I proudly present to you this week's Penguin jokes:
Q: Why can't Penguins fly?
A: Because they don't have enough money to buy plane tickets.
Q: Why do penguins carry fish in their beaks?
A: Because they don't have pockets.
So, I think it's safe to say that even if penguins did have enough money to buy plane tickets, they still wouldn't be able to because they wouldn't have any pockets to put their money in. And even if they did have pockets to put their money in, it would get all wet. Unless they had plenty of coins, but where would they get coins from?
