Ron Walters and John Bob Looney, of the Looney-Lyles combo, sent me this educational piece. These two are of the great 1940's era of Mound Park Urchin history in Portsmouth Ohio.
Subject: Fw: Dead Penguins--I never knew
this
In keeping with my policy of providing continuing education to the masses,
I present the following lesson for your learning pleasure:
 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."
Then, they kick him in the ice
hole.
 You really didn't believe
that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD people.
I am sorry, the
devil made me do it!!!
I fell for it, too.
