New evidence from unmanned underwater cameras has proved that dolphins are only pretending to be friendly to humans and that the moment that our backs are turned, a sour and indignant expression returns to their faces.
The discovery, which will traumatise animal lovers the world over, was made when Californian marine biologist Mike Varney sensed that the smiling, chattering manner of dolphins and porpoises was somehow a little insincere. He set up a series of remote controlled underwater cameras to record ceteceans interacting with swimmers and divers and then filmed the same dolphins as they left their human companions.
‘It’s fascinating’ said Varney. ‘As the excited eco-tourists climb onto the boat, still thrilled at their real-life encounter with wild bottlenose dolphins, you can see the dolphins turn away and their cheerful expression suddenly changes. They looked really pissed off, and were sort of tutting and looking skywards. It’s like they were saying ‘I AM SO BORED OF THIS!’
Varney’s research has also demonstrated that their high-pitched animated chattering is also contrived and phoney. Amongst themselves, dolphins manage little more than an occasional indignant grunt, and often can’t even bothered to reply to other family members.
This is the second major discovery by maverick naturalist Varney. Last year his remote controlled cameras discovered that gorillas are actually really smiley when they are left to themselves.
hmmm, the same thing happens with the politicians
They probably are thinking "Let's be nice to these retards who can't swim." Then they turn away and roll their eyes.
Bush's fault.
Ping.

(Still funny though. :P )
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow (around you)
So long so long and thanks for all the fish
The world’s about to be destroyed
There’s no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the world dissolve (around you)
Despite those nets of tuna fleetes
We thought most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long and thanks for all the fish
If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learnt to sing
Come one and all
Man and mammal
Side by side in life's great gene pool
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long and thanks for all the fish
My dogs do the same thing..........They are probably saying, "Cheap tourists! No fish snaks?"......
Women and children hardest hit.
So long, and thanks for all of the fish.......
:)
Sounds like my kids.
I feel betrayed. :)
And those chirping sounds they make are the dolphin equivalent of **** and ^&%^#$@*&()@!
I was going to say - they act like a Democrats visiting a black church. ;)
