As Peter Cook said…
“Yeah, but they’re not. Whales are **** stupid. Can you mention one whale in the history of mankind that has had a record in the top ten? Can you? Can you mention one whale who’s written the equivalent of, er, ‘Othello’, Shakespeare, ‘Health & Efficiency’? They’ve produced nothing in the way of literature. All they’ve **** produced is a load of other whales and all they eat is **** plankton, and they call them intelligent. Can you imagine drifting along in the sea with your mouth open and a lot of **** plankton going in?”
“You’d like it, would you, just drifting around in the sea? And you can’t-, they’re such **** they can’t even breathe underwater. They have to keep coming up the whole **** time and spouting. Then some **** comes on telly and he says, “Oh, the whale is being wiped out by mankind, save the **** whales.” Well! During the war, did we notice a lot of whales w-, rallying round and saying, “Save England!” I didn’t notice many down my part of the world”
