The Henry Doorly Zoo
This is a new sign at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo. I'm sure some zoo worker was tired of hearing time after time, "Why does it smell like fish over here?" or "Oh God! What is that fishy odor?" or "Holy crack pipe! These penguins reek of fish!" or "Boysenberry Applesauce this fishy odor is killing me!" or the best: "WHY DOES IT SMELL LIKE FISH OVER HERE!? THIS IS A PENGUIN EXHIBIT! NOT A FISH EXHIBIT!" I have a feeling that last one is the one that finally snapped some snarky penguin handler to the point where she threw down her sardine bucket and said, "That's it! I don't give a flying fig if I have to pay for this out of my own pocket, I'm having a sign made for these idiot zoo goers!" And she did. That is how I imagine this sign came to be anyway. The bad thing? The first thing I heard when I walked into this area was, "Why does this area smell like fish?"
I'm going back to the zoo on Friday! Yay-yaH!
20 Sillies Said Something:
Whats a sheewee?
Does it smell a little like a penguin?
...Boysenberry Applesauce.
You so Jodiferous..xox
I have been slapped by every woman I've taken to that zoo because of my accusitive remarks regarding this issue. Hopefully this will never happen again because of theis new, more robust education program.
A shee-wee is something that crazy kiwis use when they have to piss on a mountain side. (See KB's interview for deeper reference and a photo).
Rightfully so Aaron considering the only time women have THAT problem is if a man's added his contribution to her anatomy. FUCKER!!! If you were here, I'd slap you right now!
Say "hello" to the polar bears for me. And tell the big one he still owes me $20 and I'm not gonna forget about it.
At least Arbotron didn't have to put a sign in his car saying 'At course it smells in here - Morgy got caught short in a storm'
I love your backstory! It's perfection...."threw down her bucket!"
I was as that zoo and there's an old custodian worker. The guy is slow and only has one leg. And do you know what? His name Bill Penguin. People can be mean.
Surviving ... Will do man. Will do. As they swim through their enormous turds an nibble on lettuce leaves, I'll give 'em the what for for you!
Keith -- Good point ... Arbo would put a sign like that in her car I bet. She is a wacky girl.
HEY! I was hoping you'd stop by RLLesbian. I <3 your stories sooooo much.
Get out Dr. Z!! Are you foolin' with me?
Now see it's okay for a Penguin to smell fishy!!! There supposed to :)
Morgy I guess if men are going to say women smell fishy, I'd hope they get creative and say why dear you smell like Salmon tonight, truly delectable, or Babe can we have tuna tonight, seeeeeeeeeee how inventive that is.
Urmmm maybe Aaron wouldn't get smacked so much if he was creative like that lol woot ahahahahahahahahaa
That is the best thing I've seen in a long, long time.
I love zoos. When I go to a new town and have some time to kill, I will often head to the zoo, if they have one. This has led to some fits of depression as not all zoos are good zoos. El Paso, TX has one of the most depressing. I expect some small socialist countries have better zoos. On the other hand, San Antonio and San Diego can cheer me up for days.
You hit my funny bone right in the crotch! My wife isn't insane like you.. she's just garden variety crazy- which ain't this funny!
You smell like roses Missy.
Kristen -- YOU are the best thing I've seen in a long time ... EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T ENTER MY CONTEST! Okay ... I'm over it now.
Dave -- Have you ever been to the Henry Doorly Zoo? It is amazing! The only exhibit that is depressing to me is the Cat Exhibit. I think it's on their to-do list to improve it though.
Buff -- Does your funny bone have a crotch, or is your funny bone IN your crotch? Please clarify. Either way -- SUPER SEXXXXXXY!
Thanks Morgy it's been a dry five years so I like the thought of smelling like roses ............Or gardina's
I have not been to this zoo as I have only been to Omaha once and had no spare time. I will put it on my list of things to do in Omaha, second only to meeting you and buying you and Hubbytron the adult beverage of your choice.
` Lol! I really like the Morgy version of everything! It's the best!!!
` Mmm. Boysenberry Applesauce.
` BTW, I wish I'd had a sheewee on my hike up a real mountain today (unlike Kingcover's puny mountains) and I was scantily clad but this time in hiking boots instead of heels, and in order to get down I had to slide down the glaciers! It was so hot today I was glad for the air conditioning! My fingers nearly froze, though!
` PS Best zoo ever is Singapore zoo! Most of their animals can run up to you, and some of them do all the time, while most just kind of kick back behind invisible lines.
` PPS Just so all the horny guys know, my crotch actually smells pretty nice, and in fact, most guys just wanna bury their face in it.
` No kiddings. They are just generally out of luck!
` But there was the first guy I was with: He couldn't stand the smell of it, which was great because I didn't want him to ever touch it.
` Here's the thing; he actually told somebody (right in front of me!) that it smelled like a dead mackerel!! He really said that! Lol!
` To change the subject, I hear that omega 3 pork tastes kind of like fish, because fish smell like omega 3 fatty acids.
No Missy ... it's definitely roses!
Dave -- Well it is one helluva zoo, but we only have one. Watering Holes? We have many many many to choose from.
S E E -- You mak-ah me smile!
` It's a curse.
` *duvvs Dr. Horrible*
I like "Penguin On Rocks"!
