After laying her egg, the female Emperor penguin spends at least two months at sea gorging on silverfish. The unfed male then incubates the egg for that entire time in the penguin colony. Ed and Fred were two Emperor penguins…
“I’m really sick of sitting on this thing and living off my body fat, Fred.”
“It gets really uncomfortable, especially in the sensitive parts down there, Ed.”
“Do you ever dream of silverfish – just eating silverfish all the time?”
“Do you know what’s odd, Ed?”
“What?”
“After sitting here so long, all I seem to dream about is scrambled eggs.”
