The joke is:
Q. What do you call an angry Penguin?
A. A Pengrrruin
At first I thought this was a typo, but Penguin jokes would never let that slip past quality control. I tried to understand the punchline. Was it a pun? Is there something in the world that sounds like "penguin", but with an "r" in it? Or, was the intent to combine the words "penguin" and "ruin"? If that were the case, why the extra "r"s? Was it intended to sound like a primordial growl, like that of some strange beast from time immemorial? Whatever its nature, that word haunts me.
Please help...it's been days now...I don't get it.
