Thread: Flying Penguins.

  1. #1

    Default Flying Penguins.

    This thread has been started in order that other members may avoid the silly antics of certain officers, some of whom are old enough to know better, and Bumblie 3. who can now tell their jokes? without interrupting serious threads. My profound apologies to any member who has been disturbed in this way.
    Rob.

    P.S. Why do penguins carry fish in their beaks?

    I don't know, why do penguins carry fish in their beaks? I have a funny feeling I'm going to be sorry I asked.

    Because they don't have any pockets.

    Retaliation!
    One day a penguin went into a police a station because his brother was missing. He said, "My brother is missing." "What does he look like?" says the policeman looking straight at the penguin.

    I'm reading "The First Air War" by Lee Kennett. I just finished a section about French flight training. Pilots started in planes with clipped wings and 25hp engines that could not take off. They learned to hold the flight line going back and forth across a field. They called these training planes "penguins." Imagine my surprise when this thread had nothing to do with them!

    That was the inspiration for the title Rodrick. You will soon get used to our quaint and obtuse sense of humour. Flying a penguin, a bit like flying a kyte (KITE) to see who will latch on to the thread, or in Penguineese, take the bait. Going fishing?

    Rob.
    So its 2am, and a man and wife are roused by a loud banging at the front door.
    The husband goes down and opens the door to find a penguin, swaying to and fro.
    "What do you want?" asks the man.
    "Please could you give me a push, I can't do it on my own?" replies the penguin.
    "Its 2 in the morning - shove off!" says the man, and slams the door shut.
    He is halfway upstairs when there is another loud knock. He goes back and jerks the door open.
    "Please mister, help me. Give me a push?"
    "I won't tell you again, now clear off!" he shouts and goes back to bed.
    His wife asks him what was happening. He tells her that was a penguin asking for help, and from the smell of its breath it may have been drinking.
    "Well that's mean, dear!" says his wife, "One day your car may break down and you might need a push, I think you should help the poor little bird!"
    From the tone of her voice he knows this is not going to go away, so he goes down to help.
    He opens the door, but there is no sign of the penguin.
    "Hey, penguin, do you still need that push?" he calls.
    "Oh, yes please!" the penguin calls back.
    "Well where are you?" asks the man.
    "Over here on your garden swing!" replies the penguin.....

    Why are there no penguins in Britain?

    What do you can a penguin in the desert?

    Two penguins are standing on an ice flow. One is wearing a bow tie. A freighter come to halt nearby and lowers a boat, which rows over to the flow.
    "Hey, you with the bow tie!", calls a sailor, "We've got a package for you."
    "Thank you." says the penguin with the bow tie and collects the parcel.
    As the boat rows away, he sits down on the ice and unwraps the parcel. Inside is a box, which he carefully opens, and removes a beautiful pair of Morroccan slippers.
    "Who sent you them?" asks his friend.
    "Sears & Roebuck." says bow tie. " I sent for them."
    "Why??"
    "Cos my feet are b****y freezing!"....

    Why are there no polar bears at the south pole??

    The Penguins ate them all.

    I know another, but it's really long, a bit crude and is best told after a few beers...

    A somewhat inebriated gentleman wanders into a Police station. The desk sergeant asks him if he needs any assistance.

    "Do any penguins live around here?"
    "No sir, I believe they mainly live in the Antarctic."

    "Have you had a report of a penguin escaping from a local zoo?"
    "No, sir." The sergeant replies politely. "May I ask why?"

    "Well, my wife says I've just run over a nun, but I think she's winding me up."

    Two young penguins, Albert and Sidney, are chatting one day, when a young female penguin, Ermytrude waddles up to join them. Now Ermyntrude has unusual marking for a penguin, in that she is all white, with a black throat and tummy.

    "What are you chaps talking about?" she asks.

    "Well," says Albert, "we were just thinking how lucky we are to live here, lots of lovely fish to eat, right to hand."
    "Don't you get fed up with fish? Wouldn't you like some venison, or maybe a MacDonald's for a change?" says Ermyntrude.

    "Well, think of the lovely steeps slopes we can slide down." says Sidney.
    "Yes, bur look how dangerous they could be for tiny chicks." replies Ermyntrude. "Just think about how much harm they could do to themselves on those dangerous slopes."

    "Well, look at how well we are suited to the climate." Albert comments.
    "Well, I'd like to be somewhere where I could lay back and sunbathe, in really hot sun, without whatever I am lying on melting." Ermyntrude replies.

    Just then, Ermyntrude's mummy calls her for her lunch.

    As she waddles away, Albert says to Sidney, "Don't you think Ermyntrude is a bit negative??"

    Sorry Rick,

    Although this thread is not entirely about trainee pilots, as you quickly spotted, I think you will find it does got back and forth, over the same ground, rather a lot.

    Happy landings,

    Purely accidental, I assure you. Slapped him on the back, congratulated him on his promotion (well, it must be all of 5 days since the last one so he must be due one ) and there he was, gone

    Straight down the ice slide and into the pool. Still it's better than being stood up again by those army types in the Land Rovers. Next Harrier comes over and you're down again.

    So now you are trying to give me the slip too, eh Rich!
    If the castor oil is on you that much you need to get a bigger windshield. Try the new SE5 ones when they arrive. Flying in a greenhouse should stop you throwing stones.

    Additional rep! I must have pressed the wrong button. I thought it said rap, as on the knuckles. Must get my eyes seen to. Oh I did! It looks a long way to the bar.

    I once saw the light at the end of the tunnel Rich, but it turned to be someone with a lamp bringing me extra work.

    A Penguin, down on his luck, asks another Penguin "Can you lend me six squid?"


    A Penguin walks into a bar and orders a Gin and Tonic. The Bartender says, "That will be twenty quid". He puts the drink on the bar and says, "You know, we don't get many Penguins in here". The Penguin replys, "With prices like these, it's no wonder".

    Speaking og Harriers and Penguins.....
    Two penguins are lying sunbathing on an iceflow when a Harrier jet zooms overhead, comesto a hover and then hurtles vertically upwards and disappears.....

    "WOW! Said the first penguin, "I wish I could do that!"
    "You probably could," said his friend, "if someone set fire to YOUR armpits...."
