How tall is a penguin?

A man rushes into a bar and screams at the bartender, “How tall is a penguin?”

The bartender looks at him weirdly and says, “Excuse me?”

The man repeats, “How tall is a penguin?”

The bartender motions with his hands. “Uh, about this high.”

The color drains from the man’s face as he says, “Oh shìt, I just ran over a nun.”

some assembly requires for the robes

Who knew that there was even an Ikea in the Seven Kingdoms!?

Taking short steps and being very careful while walking on icy streets is what we Canadians often have to do. We don’t need to imitate penguins.

They could also walk like an Egyptian. I hear that helps.

Better to walk like a Ninja

Wrong! It was the island of white.

So the coats needed to be assembled from bad instructions?

I have even better advice: Avoid icy conditions.

The advice to “walk like a penguin” when crossing ice is decades old. When I moved to Minnesota, 30 years ago, it was used in an ad for ice melt. (The point being, if you used ice melt, you could avoid the need to walk like a penguin.)

I prefer to walk like a polar bear, that way if I slip I have much less distance to fall.

Next time I am laying in front of the fire on my IKEA rug, I will think of this.

I heard that before. Anyone know if it works?.

The Night’s Watch actors in GOT, suddenly felt the urge to have people walk all over them
