A CHP officer pulls him over, looks him up and down. Nothing strange there. Looks the penguin up and down. Yup, it's certainly a penguin. The man in the truck says "excuse me officer, have I done something wrong."
Taking the man for a fool the policeman says "I'm not going to write you a ticket, as long as you promise me you'll take that penguin to the Zoo."
The truck putters off and the officer heads back to the office.
The next week on the same stretch of the 101, the same officer sees the same old blue Chevy in the carpool lane. The siren blares and they park in the same pull out. The officer looks the man up and down. Yep, same man. He looks the passenger up and down. Yup. Same penguin.
"I told you last week that I wanted to take that penguin to the Zoo." The driver squirms in his seat and says "I'm sorry officer. With my parents coming into town and all I just plum forgot."
The officer, who doesn't really want to file a report about a penguin anyway, says "alright. But I don't want you to see you in the carpool lane again. And by God, if you don't take that penguin to the Zoo...". He stops, but the threat is clear.
About a week later, along the same stretch of the 101 the same officer sees the same blue beater stuck in traffic.
He watches as it doesn't move, he feels some satisfaction at a job well down.
He watches it just a little more and just there in the front seat he sees the man drop an anchovy on the passenger seat and just the very tip of a yellow beak. That's fucking it.
He pulls that asshole over and doesn't even wait until the man rolls down his window. He radios the HQ and asks for every known law about this owning and transporting a penguin. " Two weeks now I've pulled you over and for two goddamn weeks of I've told you to.take this animal to the zoo. Now, I can't ignore this anymore. If you won't take this creatures to the Zoo, then I will!"
The officer looks at the penguin and notices the towel and sunglasses.
"But officer,. We did go to the Zoo. This week I promised we would go to the beach."
