Me: Did you know you can rent the Penguin House at the Central Park Zoo? But it starts at, like, $7,000.
ML: Wow. That's a lot.
BA: Yeah, but who would even want to do that?
AN: Do you get to interact with the penguins?
Me: No, but you can point to one of the penguins behind the glass and they'll steam it for you free of charge. No, I'm kidding. But I think for that kind of money, the penguins should wear little bow ties and walk around with plates of hors d' ouevres. And did you know you can get married at the Central Park Zoo?
BA: Oh, are you going to find me a husband?
Me: Yes. But he's a hippo.
I was only kidding, of course. They don't have hippos at the Central Park Zoo.
Then AN told me she went to Cornell, and I said, "Oh, one of the imaginary people who lives in my head went to Cornell." And that made AN laugh, which was good.

I wonder what kind of hors d' ouevres would penguins serve. Shrimp cocktail? Pigs in a blanket? Caviar? I should ask the hippo!

Penguins make me think of Mary Poppins, which in turn makes me think of the crazy woman at Disney World who is convinced she IS Mary Poppins. I could see her getting married there and telling people, "No, no, no. Julie Andrews just PORTRAYED me."
Penguin appetizers would be called Penguin Poppers.
And they would have to pay ME $7,000 to have an event in the penguin house. Penguins behind glass STINK!
