The Penguin in the Passenger Seat
A man is driving down a lonely country road when he sees a nun standing by the highway. He pulls over and offers her a ride. She thanks him, gets into the passenger seat, and they start driving.
After a few minutes, the man looks over and is shocked to see a penguin sitting quietly on the nun’s lap.
The man blinks in disbelief and asks, “Sister, why do you have a penguin in your lap?”
The nun looks down, sighs deeply, and says, “Oh, it is a sad story. I found this poor, lost penguin wandering near the convent this morning. I simply do not know what to do with him.”
The man thinks for a moment and says, “Well, Sister, you should take that penguin to the zoo!”
The nun smiles warmly and says, “What a wonderful idea! Thank you, my son. I will do exactly that.”
The next day, the same man is driving down the exact same road. To his utter amazement, he sees the nun standing on the roadside again, waiting for a ride. He pulls over, and she hops in. The man looks down and sees the penguin is still sitting on her lap.
The man is completely confused. “Sister! I thought you were going to take that penguin to the zoo yesterday!”
The nun beams with a huge smile and replies, “Oh, I did! We had such a wonderful time at the zoo yesterday that today we are going to the movies!”
