Laugh OUT Loud Friday: Dead Penguins

By
Mortgage and Lending with CMG Home Loans NMLS 248937

 

Did you ever wonder why you never see dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica? 

Ever wonder where they go?  Wonder no more. 

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. 

The penguins have a very strong community bond.  They are very committed to their family and will mate for life. 

They also maintain a form of compassionate contact with their offspring throughout its life. 

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.


The male penguins then gather in a circle around the freshly dug grave and sing.... 

 

..."freeze a jolly good fellow..."

 

OK, Silly... but SAFE!  If you have not taken a look at my blog from yesterday RE: New Disclosure Laws that May delay Closings, you should take a peek.  Jokes are fun, but I do post some serious stuff the rest of the week!

Have a great weekend.

As I mentioned above, I save the funny stuff for Fridays and post serious stuff the rest of the week.  My Thursday post is an important one on new disclosure rules that go into effect the end of the month that have the potential to delay closings.  It may be worth taking a peek to help manage your clients expectations.

I wasn't ready for that one.  I was remembering the movie that followed the penguins' lives that was narrated by Morgan Freeman....they are amazing creatures!  Thanks for the funny.

Thanks for the laugh. We can't be serious ALL the time. Laughter is the best medicine after all.
