Synopsis

Two women settle down to watch television and notice a penguin standing on top of the set. Their attempts to work out its sex and how it arrived produce a succession of increasingly unlikely explanations. A stamp briefly makes the bird seem like a delivery from Burma. Then the television announcer predicts that the penguin will explode. His forecast proves accurate, leaving the viewers impressed by his knowledge rather than alarmed by the blast.
