Has anyone seen this commercial where nice people are scrubbing penguins with Dawn Dishwasher Liquid?

Here it is.

These folks are cleaning up all types of birds, as well.

I don't know whether to fly up to Arctic and join these nice people or to bring some Dawn over to the animal shelter!

Does anyone know if Penguins get along with Cats?

penguins are angry animals.

nothing like geese which get pissed when you walk too close. penguins are pissed because you exist.

but cudos to anyone who wants to help wildlife.

The St. Louis Zoo has a relatively new penguin habitat. You walk right through the middle of it and they are so close that you could reach out and touch one. It's pretty neat being so close to them.

It's also nice in the middle of summer to walk in there because they keep it very cold in there.

Not true. We've got blue penguins over here in New Zealand, and they're also found in Australia, as well as a few other places.

i actualy am digitizing a map for the saint louis zoo atm, it's a great place to work, everything there really does love their job, they live up to their "Animals Always" motto.

True, but NZ and Australia are in the southern hemisphere. Penguins are not found in the Arctic, as the OP had jokingly implied.

Looks like it's sitting.

[size=xx-small](On the TV set there is indeed a penguin. It sits contentedly looking at them in a stuffed sort of way. There is nothing on the screen.)

First Old Women:
No, no, no, I didn't mean what was on the television set, I meant what programme?

Second Old Women:
Oh.

(The Second Old Women goes to the TV, switches it on and returns to her chair. The set takes a long time to warm up and produce a picture. During this pause the following conversation takes place.)

Second Old Women:
It's funny that penguin being there, innit?
What's it doing there?

First Old Women:
Standing.

Second Old Women:
I can see that!

First Old Women:
If it lays an egg it will fall down the back of the Television set.

Second Old Women:
We'll have to watch that.
(pause)
Unless it's a male.

First Old Women:
Ooh, I never thought of that.

Second Old Women:
Yes, looks fairly butch.

First Old Women:
Perhaps it comes from next door.

Second Old Women:
Penguins don't come from next door,
they come from the Antarctic.

First Old Women:
BURMA!
(sound of tea spoon being dropped into tea cup)

Second Old Women:
Why did you say Burma?

First Old Women:
I panicked.

Second Old Women:
Oh. Perhaps it's from the Zoo.

First Old Women:
Which zoo?

Second Old Women:
How should I know which Zoo?
I'm not Dr. Bloody Bronowski!!

First Old Women:
How does Dr. Bronowski know which zoo it came from?

Second Old Women:
He knows everything!

First Old Women:
Oh, I wouldn't like that, it would take the mystery out of life. Anyway if it was from the zoo it would have 'Property of the Zoo' stamped on it!


Second Old Women:
No it wouldn't, They don't stamp animals 'Property of the Zoo'!!! You couldn't stamp a huge lion.

First Old Women:
They stamp them when they're small.

Second Old Women:
What happens when they moult?

First Old Women:
Lions don't moult!

Second Old Women:
No, but penguins do. There, I've run rings around you logically.

First Old Women:
OH, INTERCOURSE THE PENGUIN!!

(On the TV screen there now appears an announcer)

TV Announcer:
Hello. It's just gone 8 o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode.

(The penguin on top of the set now explodes.)

First Old Women:
How did he know that was going to happen?!
