The Penguin.

comedy, plain pitiful February 14th, 2007

A penguin is driving around Antarctica in his penguin car when all of a sudden, there’s a pop and a hiss, and the car stalls out. Luckily, there’s a garage right across the street, so the penguin pushes his car into the bay.
“Come back in an hour,” says the mechanic, “and I’ll have an estimate for you.” So the penguin waddles up the street, buys a newspaper and kills some time. He sees an ice cream shop, and like all penguins he loves ice cream so he gets a cone and munches the thing down on the way back to the garage.
“So what’s wrong with my car?” he asks the mechanic.
“Well,” the mechanic says, “it looks like you blew a seal.”
“Wha–? No, that’s just ice cream,” says the penguin, wiping his chin.

Thanks! I’ll be here all week!

    Nice joke, but there are a few elements that you should have included. The story goes, the penguin was driving through the desert, it is important to have the penguin driving through the desert since it sets the scene, if he was driving around antartica, why would he want ice cream… its friggin cold! Then the joke continues that his air conditioning breaks, this adds suspense to the joke because, since he is in the desert and a penguin, air conditioning is very important! He goes to the mechanic who says it may be a while. The penguin asks if there is somewhere cold he can hang out while it is being looked at, you know since he is a penguin and needs to be kept cold. The mechanic says to go next door in the convience store and he can wait in the cooler. While waiting in the cooler the penguin notices some ice cream in there with him. He decides he is hungry so he goes to town on the ice cream. Since he is a penguin, and didn’t have a spoon, just some flippers, he gets the ice cream all over himself. He then goes to the mechanic to see if he had finsihed with his car. Then the punchline is the same…
