Written on an Airbed

Ripped from today's headlines.

Q - Why do penguins carry fish in their beaks?



Um, I dunno... because they haven't got any pockets?

A - Because they haven't got any pockets.



Wait... that's the 'joke'? Seriously? I know that Penguin bars are known and ridiculed for their tendency to include some of the world's worst puns on their packaging, but that's not even a bad pun, it's just a logical statement. Penguins went through a period of putting straight up facts on the back, but this doesn't even fall into that category either - it's just a logical statement.

Statements ain't entertainment, yo.

If I walked up to you and said "Why can't I fly a fighter jet? Because I lack the appropriate training and abilities" you wouldn't laugh, and you certainly wouldn't learn anything. I would be wasting your time. And that is what today's Penguin bar did. It wasted my (clearly very valuable) time.
