Once upon a time, a delivery man was assigned the task of
delivering some penguins to the zoo.  Since it was his wedding
anniversary and he was already running late, fate dictated that his
truck would also break down.

He then accosted a woman walking down the street and
explained his dilemma.  There was no possible way for him to take
the penguins to the zoo and get his truck fixed plus get home in time
to take his wife out for their anniversary.  He promised her
twenty dollars if only she would take his penguins to the zoo for
him.  The woman gladly agreed.

Later that same evening, as the delivery man was leaving the
restaurant with his wife, he saw the woman walking down the
street with the penguins following right after her.  The delivery
man accosted the lady a second time and asked why the
penguins were not at the zoo.

"Oh, " she said, "after we went to the zoo, I still had some money
left over so I figured I would take them to the movies, too."

-- 
Why me, officer?  I must have passed a dozen other guys that were
speeding, too!
