I've just bought a t-shirt that says "One By One The Penguins Steal My
Sanity".
Any takers as to the origin?

Try the Penguin Book of Penguins. I don't think it's in it but
it's a funny read. I'll try and find my copy.

I know how to google. My bet would be on Monty Python.
A very cunning ploy to start a discussion about Spamalot.
