Idle Thoughts of a Wandering Mind
would this be a good spot for a joke?
send me a joke... mtidaporch@gmail.com
put Joke in the subject line please.


Penguins: 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."




You really didn't  believe that I know anything about penguins, did you!

From our Useless Information Department:
The world record for spitting a watermelon seed remains 65 feet 4 inches.


Good Advice...On anniversaries the wise husband always forgets the past...
but never the present.
Always Do all the good you can, by all the means you can,
at all the times you can, to all the people you can,
 as long as you can!!
