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"

"Freeze a jolly good fellow."


"Then they kick him in the ice hole!!!"




todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I don't wake up any more wondering what time I get to start getting drunk

that, by the grace of my HP, I don't need beer in my fridge overnight - just in case

that as a result of working the steps with a sponsor, I feel accountable to him - constantly and consistently

that I'm listing one of my cars for sale on eBay. This is an interesting, first time experience.

Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.

Let us know how the sale goes. Interesting. I've bought stuff on eBay but never listed anything.

LOL!

My husband's father sold a truck on eBay. It worked out well. My husband also sells all of my school books on eBay at the end of the semester

Another joke for my Thursday night cookie meeting--I was beginning to use retreads.
