So this penguin is driving thru the high desert of Nevada in a Plymouth Valiant slant-six. After a while, he gets the "Check Engine" light, then within sight of one of those gas stations which rise out of the dirt like rust castles - his engine packs it in. He walks over, explains the sitch, and gets a short tow. The mechanic invites him to wait in the office while he checks it out. The penguin is getting a little dogged by the heat, and whaddya know, there is an ice cream machine quietly buzzing in the corner. Mr. Guin feeds the machine some change and gets a vanilla cone. Even in the office the heat is quicker than the flightless bird, so a good portion of the cone ends up on his face and chest. Just then the mechanic steps into the office and brightly announces "Looks like you blew a seal there, Stranger." The penguin blushes - I mean, what's black& white and red all over - and stammers - "Oh goodness no - this is just ice cream!"
