What Kind Of Mutant Platypus Has He Been Seeing?!
Extra Stupid, Gift Shop, Pets & Animals, Spouses & Partners, USA | Romantic | March 20, 2019
(I observe this couple in a gift shop.)
Wife: *picks up a realistic stuffed narwhal toy* “Aww, honey, look at this!”
Husband: “What is that?! Is that, like, one of them platypuses?”
Wife: “No, it’s a narwhal!”
Husband: “A what?”
Wife: “A narwhal. It’s a whale with a horn that lives in the Arctic.”
Husband: “And… it’s real?”
Wife: “Yes, it’s real! Have you seriously never heard of a narwhal?!”
Husband: “Never. That thing looks like a f****** unicorn-manatee or something!”
(I’m not sure what’s stranger — that this guy had never heard of a narwhal, or that he had apparently heard of a platypus but thinks it looks like a whale!)
