A man is driving through a remote, desolate area when he sees a penguin standing by the side of the road. He pulls over and, seeing no one else around, opens his car door for the penguin. The penguin hops into the passenger seat.
Not knowing what else to do, the man continues driving. After a while, he sees a police car and flags it down.
“Officer,” the man says, “I have this penguin in my car. I don’t know where it came from or what to do with it.”
The police officer thinks for a moment and says, “That’s simple. You should take it to the zoo.”
“The zoo? Of course!” the man says, feeling relieved. “That’s a great idea. Thank you, officer!” And he drives off.
The next day, the same police officer is patrolling the same remote road when he sees the same man’s car. To his surprise, the penguin is still in the passenger seat, but this time, it’s wearing sunglasses.
The officer pulls the man over again, looking annoyed. “I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo!”
The man replies, “I did! We had a great time. Today, I’m taking him to the beach.”
