EveryOne A King

Early January in the Falklands and it’s 50°. Not what I was expecting when I agreed to go visit Antarctica.

We saw most of the penguin species in one location or another - this happened to be a colony of King Penguins. Not really sure who was in charge, but no one was shoveling shit and it sure was aromatic!

A sign nearby explained it - ‘We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major decisions.’ I guess they had seen Monty Python.

Toby thought this story was dumb but allowed that it would be fun to chase them because he thought they would be easy to catch…
