A penguin is driving through the Arizona desert when his car breaks down. He steps out into the oppressive, 108° heat and notices oil pouring out of the engine. He has the car towed to the nearest town and waits at the mechanic’s.
Unfortunately, the mechanic’s waiting room is not well air conditioned and the penguin, not acclimated to the hot weather, starts to get uncomfortable. He sees an ice cream stand down the road and thinks “Being a penguin, I really could go for something ice cold” and decides to take a walk. The heat from the sun is unbearable.
The penguin buys the largest cup of ice cream they have and returns to the mechanic’s lobby. When he sits down, he realizes he forgot to get a spoon. “Damn it!” he thought. “I’m not walking back out in that sun!” and proceeds to eat the ice cream with his flippers, making a mess while doing so.
Just then the mechanic walks in.
“Mr. Penguin, it looks like you’ve just blown a seal”
The penguin looks up at the mechanic incredulously. “Oh no,” he says, “it’s just ice cream”.
