VERY INTERESTING FACTS ! !
Dead Penguins - I never knew this!
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 maintain 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."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD people.
I am sorry, an urge came over me that made me do it!!!
Oh quit whining I fell for it, too
Not a surprise ending because this is the joke thread.

Just a warning of yet another internet scam. I ordered some lovely presents for my wife totalling over £250. But when they arrived someone had substituted 2 fishing rods, a reel, and a years membership of a fishing syndicate. Absolutely disgraceful what some scammers will stoop to.....
those buggers got me to. I ended up with a ski wax iron, bullets, and new kayak stuff.....

I ordered bed pads for mom. Did not come. What arrived was a giant box of male urinary tubes to connect to a bag !. Probably worth 10X what I paid. I called them and In a panic they rushed me a UPS return label. OTOH I was in MD at the time and there is a state law there that you don't have to return something you didn't order. I returned them LOL.
