My caption was a variation of your theme but you got in first.

It would be churlish not to give you a GA. So I've bumped it up to 8.

I don't think I've seen so many GA's before. Wow!

Nope. Penguin was trying to do it to the porpoise. Porpoise didn't like having it done to him.

This week at SeaWorld, Dolphins have begun offering rides to Penguins for fish...It seems the penguins have been hording fish and now control several of the larger fish by offering fish for various services....Dr. Geequi Akwamon, head of oceanic behavioral sciences at the waterpark, said that a new paradigm has been created by making the larger species perform acts for fish, and the penguins are much smarter than previously thought...attempts to raid the fish horde of the penguins is met with deadly resistance by the killer sharks, who now owe their allegiance to the penguins....The penguins now control a good portion of the park and anybody who wishes to enter must pay in fishes to the penguins or the sea lions will attack....read full story...

There was once a joke about taking a gull across the state lion for an immortal porpoise. Life imitates humor!

Would you please do the forum a favor?

1. Turn on the caps lock key.

2. Hit it really hard with a hammer so that:
a. It turns off, and
b. It never turns back on.

Thank you.

Or
