 Still More Penguins

Chinstrap Penguins were aptly named, 
for they looked like they were wearing a
black helmet. We had been cautioned not
to get too close to the penguins, but
nobody told the penguins--some seemed a
little curious, but others walked right
past us as though we weren't there.
In all, we saw four different species
of penguins; the ones with the yellow
tufts on their heads were called
Macaronis. They reminded someone
of the slang word for Italian "dandies"
who wore their hair like Dagwood.
