Of Penguins, Ducks & Sarah Palin

I mentioned in a previous post that I'd take a stab at knitting Sarah Palin, penguins and ducks together into a "Shaggy Dog", which is an Art Form of Humor celebrating the corny joke.

I came up with this one last night after a couple of plates of Pasta Bolognaise and a few Ship Yard brewskis.


Here 'tis...

A duck and a penguin were waddling through the Alaskan tundra, and as they got close to a bay on the Arctic Coastline, they heard all hell breaking out.


So they hurried it up to check out what was going on. To their utter amazement, they came across huge grizzly bear wrestling out on a sand bar with Sarah Palin.


The match was a deadlock! Every time the grizzly seemed to have gotten the upper hand, Sarah would execute an escape. Evert time Sarah got the grizzly into a Head Lock, the bear would execute a Slip Move. 

The combatants were rolling around in the sand when, in a flash, Palin pulled off an amazing Spin Reversal. This move got her right behind the grizzly, enabling her to apply a Full Nelson on the bear.


From this point of advantage, Palin hoisted the bear over her head and slammed him down right across her knee in a classic Back Breaker, stunning the grizzly. Finally, Palin finished him off with a Pile Driver, leaving the great bear stretched flat on the sand bar, out-cold with his tongue dangling from his mouth by a foot-and-a-half.


After raising both arms sky-high in triumph, Palin dusted herself off, strolled over to her canoe, grabbed her paddle, and headed out across the bay.


So the duck and the penguin swam to the sand bar, and just as they got there, the grizzly came to.

"You ought to be ashamed at yourself!," the penguin taunted.

The duck chimed in: " I never would have expected that you, of all animals, would take a Smack Down like that!"

The bear sat up and shook his head to clear away the cob webs.

"I guess it's just the way I was brought up," he struggled to explain.

"I always have a tough time with the women-folk because I don't know how or where to grab them. Besides which, she was wearing eyeglasses."

Exeunt...

I know, I know: penguins live down by the South Pole.

But that's fodder for another Shaggy Dog...
