On the front page of our newpaper there was this picture today:
And not only the picture is funny, so is the story behind:
Attention for the promotion: The royal guards of Norway honored a penguin called Nils Olav with a very special honor. The inhabitant of the zoo in Edinburgh (Scotland) was promoted to a Brigadiergeneral. Till now he was a Colonel and has been knighted already in 2008. The norwegian guards support a long lasting friendship to the penguins in the zoo of Edinburgh. "Nils recognizes the norwegian guards every time they come to visit" told the zoo-employee Darren McGarry with joy. **
I'm sorry, but this reminds me of another Colonel, promoted to a Brigadiergeneral:
Jack: You think I look like a penguin?
No, sorry Jack, not at all. But Nils Olav clearly knows how to stand at attention!
** I took this picture and the story from "Nord-West-Zeitung", August 23rd 2016.
