    Clever Penguins

    Saw this over on Failblog and it made me think about dealing with shark-infested waters in the workplace.  Sometimes the best route to avoid painful conflict is just to get the Hell out of the water.

    All you need is a convenient passing boat. BTW, orcas are reputed to be mean, nasty creatures. If I’d been on that little inflatable I’d have pushed the penguin back into the water :-) Better him than me!

    If you’re going into this inspirational, leadership, sort of thing, you’re going to have to get a better video-streamer. Nice film, even if it did splutter, cough, and jump around a bit.

    Great vid, but it’s not sharks that are after the wee penguins. It’s a pod of young killer whales. Sharks don’t come in two-tone paint jobs with blowholes. :-)

    Well spotted. If you look really closely, you’ll see the velcro fastenings on the Orca suits as it was actually a load of reef sharks on their way to a fancy dress party. I believe the Penguin was indeed Danny DeVito too – he just can’t get over the fact that everyone panned the Batman film he was in.
