Before I was compelled to give them up, I was rather fond of Penguins, the king of all biscuits. In addition to that lovely chocolate and biscuit, and the opportunity to build up entire teams of Penguins in different colours for my forthcoming parody "Match of the Penguins II", they always had a fascinating fact or hilarious joke on the back of the wrapper.
Jokes such as the majestic:
Q: Why did the starfish blush?
A: Because the sea weed.
However, I noted the universal law that no matter how many Penguins one ate, one never encountered a new joke or fact. Every single biscuit had one of the same three entries on the wrapper.
Until one day, our hero ate a Penguin, turned to the joke, and found a new joke there! Truly this was a banner day, one worthy of being recorded for all time on blogs across the nation.
Our hero then ate his second Penguin of the day, for never must they be eaten in isolation, and turned to the second joke... to find it a duplicate of the same new joke he had just encountered. Harmony was restored to the universe. Disaster averted.
(I feel that the moral of this story is that it is quite right to never eat only a single Penguin. If you do, you run the risk of finding a unique joke, and breaking the universe.)
