Did you ever wonder why you never see dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica? Ever wonder where 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 penguins have a very strong community bond.
They are very committed to their family and will mate for life.
They also maintain a form of compassionate contact with their 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 freshly dug grave and sing... "freeze a jolly good fellow." ...
We all know that an optimistic would see half full glass of water,
while a pessimist would see a half empty one.
What would people of different professions and walks of life say?
A Banker would say that the glass has just under 50% of its net worth in liquid assets. The Government would say that the glass is fuller than if the opposition party were in power. The Opposition party would say that it is irrelevant because the present administration has changed the way such volume statistics are collected. The Economist would say that, in real terms, the glass is 25% fuller than at the same time last year. The Philosopher would say that, if the glass was in the forest and no one was there to see it, would it be half anything? The Psychiatrist would ask, "What did your mother say about the glass?" The Physicist would say that the volume of this cylinder is divided into two equal parts;
one a colorless, odorless liquid, the other a colorless, odorless gas.
Thus the cylinder is neither full nor empty. Rather, each half of the cylinder is full, one with a gas, one with a liquid. The Seasoned Drinker would say that the glass doesn't have enough (or too much) ice in it.

Wedding reception
At his wedding reception, the young groom's granddad
congratulated his grandson and said:
"The secret toenjoying a long and happy marriage,
is to listen to each other at all times, respect each other's wishes and to try
and have sex in moderation.
That way, your marriage will last as long as your grandma's and mine has."
Thanking him for his advice, the grandson said:
"What'ssex like then when you get older, granddad?"
His granddad looked at his grandson, smiled and said:
"Just like trying to play pool with a piece of rope!"
