help me understand this penguin joke

today's penguin bar joke has left me confused

Q. Why do penguins have a thick layer of feathers?

A. Because it's snow cold

Wat? Is it a pun on 'so' sounding like 'snow'? Because if so, that is probably the worst joke I have ever heard.

I'd say that's snow joke :D

I find it best to only expect unbelievably delicious chocolate covered biscuit from the penguin bar. If I go in expecting much from the joke/occasional fact, I am invariably disappointed.

I'm not suggesting I could do better, but the calibre of penguin jokes leaves a lot to be desired. Here's the other one I got today, see if you can get the answer

Q: What language do penguins speak?

Tonteau on Jan 23 '12 at 7:51am

Pigeon english.

randyotter3000 on Jan 23 '12 at 7:52am

polish?

tesco on Jan 23 '12 at 7:53am

no. I think this will be really difficult to guess as the answer is anatomically incorrect.

Tonteau on Jan 23 '12 at 7:53am

I'm sure you could do better, dan. I'm 100% sure.

Bramish on Jan 23 '12 at 7:54am

Finnish.

Finnish?

It had better not be fucking Finnish because the answer is anatomically incorrect

I love Penguin bars and I miss them dearly. I haven't had a Penguin since Abi sent me a ludicrously massive British chocolate package a couple of years ago.

A: Fin-nish

There are two penguins on the South Pole. One says to the other, "Hey, did you know that it looks like you're wearing a tuxedo?"

Bramish on Jan 23 '12 at 7:59am

I appreciate the hyphenation. I'd never have got it if they'd kept it subtle.

Bramish on Jan 23 '12 at 8:00am

that is probably the worst joke I have ever heard.

Q: Why do penguins huddle together.

A: Because this is the worst joke I ever herd.

A man in a penguin suit walks into a bar. The bartender says, "You must be kidding me." He replies, "I am," and leaves.

What does a penguin use to write letters to other penguins?

A ball-point penguin.

A penguin walks into a bar and orders a whisky on the rocks. He looks in his glass and is all like dude wait what I asked for rocks and this is ice, so racist man

jublin on Jan 23 '12 at 5:26pm

"snow cold" makes me think "it's no cold" as in it's NOT cold. So really a penguin shouldn't need a thick layer of feathers at all.

Jake Friedman on Jan 23 '12 at 5:30pm

This is an insult to all jokes ever.

How do you get rid of a mean penguin?

Kick him in the ice hole

A. Because it's snow cold

If you read between the lines, the punchline of this joke turns out to be a complex observation about the Battle of Hastings and its aftermath. It works on many levels.
