Nope. It would have been a bit of a shock to come across it.

Did you know that penguins speak French as well as English?

bigdogrock 9/18/2016, 9:05 pm

Did they learn it from the Nuns?

I'm glad someone asked. Very Happy

No, BDR, they learned it from advertising on Canadian television.

There is an advert for the Bank of XXXX? with a penguin on the doctor's couch being tested for his blood pressure and they are both talking in English.

Tonight I was watching a French channel showing some of the Rio Paralympic sports and the same advert came on and they were speaking in French.

The XXXX? means that I have forgotten the name of the bank. So much for advertising.

When I was in grade school (which seems like an eternity ago) the Hong Kong flu hit our town, I heard a story from a kid in another town not far from mine. I am not sure it is true but it is funny.
He said that when most of the teachers and the principal were out because of the flu, the Nuns of a Catholic school stepped up to help out. The kid telling the story wasn't an angel, and he made the Nuns work, so to speak. But I remember how he said when he got to school a little early the first day they were there, they arrived on a bus, and filed off into the school like a line of Penguins, and carrying rulers like Samurai Warriors.
The rest of the day didn't go well for him, but that part of the story could be continued another time.

Here you go Kelejan. It's a funny commercial, especially the "happy thoughts" part.

I did not know they were that many penguin adverts by that bank? Some I have seen but I think some of them must be older ones as the penguin was much larger and was a small human is a penguin suit.

I expect nowadays the penguin is computer generated? I especially like the baby jumping up and down in the background, brings out my maternal instincts.

Does anyone else get the wrong picture when reading headlines?

The one for today:

Driver accused of driving a load of dehydrated horses.

I think that was because I have been dehydrating loads of tomatoes.

That's funny Kelejan. I can picture the driver getting to his destination, opening the door to the horse trailer and finding only "horse powder".

Actually TD, I was thinking of sliced up horses, but your "horse powder" is just as good. Very Happy

Operator "Hello this is the ambulance service How can I help?"

Woman "I need an ambulance please. I stubbed my toe on the coffee table"

Operator "Madam, surely you don't need an ambulance for that"

Woman "No, it's not for me, It's for my husband. He shouldn't have laughed"

I haven't been senselessly Bantering with yall much lately, but thought of ya when I saw this joke bout those 2 lovable goofballs The Cajun story stars Boudreaux and Thibodeaux which is kinda like the Smith and Jones of Cajun names. Here is the story:

Boudreaux, The Nobel Prize Winner

Thibodeaux was passing by a field and seen Boudreaux stand out der. He wonder why he's stand out der, but he go on to work. The next day when Thibodeaux go to work, he pass by de same field and he saw Boudreaux out in de field again. He wonder what he doing out der, but go on to work. The next morning when Thibodeaux go to work, Boudreaux is in the field again just standing out der. De curosity is just too much, so Thibodeaux ask, "Hey, Boudreaux, every morning when I go to work, I just see you stand out der in the field. Why you do that?" Boudreaux laugh and told Thibodeaux, " I'm gonna to get me one of dem Noble Prize!" Thibodeaux say, "How you gone to do dat just stand out der?" Boudreaux say, "I heard they give dem Noble Prize for dem people OUTSTANDING IN DER FIELDS!'"
