Percy the Penguin
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 11:23 am
Percy the Penguin is driving through the green, English countryside on a hot summer's day when he notices his oil light is on. He gets out of the car and, sure enough, it's leaking oil all over the road. Percy the Penguin drives around the corner to a service station and asks the mechanic to take a look at it.
The mechanic says he has a few others to look at first but if he comes back in an hour he can tell Percy what is wrong with his car. Percy the Penguin agrees and goes for a waddle around the village to pass the time.
Strolling past the village pond, he finds an ice cream shop and thinks a huge cornet of freshly-made dairy ice cream will really hit the spot, as although he loves the English countryside, he likes to be reminded of home when the weather gets a bit warm.
He hands over a pound and starts to enjoy his ice cream, but of course he has no hands so it is rather messy. By the time he is done he has ice cream all over his flippers and his mouth-a total mess.
He walks back to the service station and says to the mechanic, "Did you find out what is wrong with my car?"
The mechanic replies, "It looks like you've blown a seal."
"No no," says the penguin. "It's just ice cream!"
