  14. I know what to do if the emperor has no clothes, but this is ‘above my pay grade’.

    This is what happens when you rigorously enforce the ‘don’t ask – don’t tell’ policy, drill sergeants of other species.

    You eyeballin’ me boy?

    I know the idea of having a penguin as being the colonel-in-chief of the King’s guards seems ridiculous. But compare the Kings guards track record to the secret service and you have to wonder if they aren’t on to something.

    Do you see how sloppy that line is? It’s not that I am prejudiced against penguins. Some of my best friends are penguins. But he is just not up to the job.

    Penguin: Clean that bird poop off your show soldier.
    Soldier: What bird poop?
    Penguin: Give me a minute. I had a bread and cheese fondue last night.

    Suspicions were raised about the new Colonel-in-chief when it was discovered he had a distinct Scottish accent.
