Okay folks, here's the deal. I was cruisin' the internet today, and I came across a thread where some guy was trying to figure out this crazy riddle. I read it, and all of a sudden, the joke's driving me crazy, too. Here's the joke for all of you curious.

There're these two penguins in the desert. One says to the other, "We're penguins, what the hell are we doing in the desert? Let's go to Antarctica."
So they hop in a nearby canoe, and start paddling to Antarctica.
Shortly after they begin their journey, the penguin in the front gets the distinct feeling that he's doing all the paddling himself. He turns around, and says to his companion, "Where's your paddle?"
The other penguin answers, "yeah it is."

What the hell? Seriously folks, I'm gettin' an aneurysm trying to figure it out. To help out, this guy gathered some clues:

Here's some hints I/we've come up with:
-the answer is something at least a little bit funny. It was called a riddle/joke.
-any stupid person can get it, it can't be something obscure
-"it has to do with where they [the penguins] are."
-I know it's a clean joke- no heavy sexual undertones
-nothing to do with the fact that there's little water in the desert
-could be one of those cold deserts for all we know
-A priest laughed at it, so it's probably not funny because one of the penguins is mentally or physically disabled

Too bad I still don't get it, and neither does anyone on the board. Help out before I hang/shoot myself.
 
Oh, well you've just gone and ruined my day! Now I'm trying to figure out the damn thing...

Where's your paddle?
Yeah it is.

Be buggered if I know what it means. I thought I could just use good sound logic and reasoning to figure it out.. The best I can do is suggest that it has something to do with 'Yeah it is'.

Yeah it is?

Where is your paddle?
Yeah it is?

Moo..... Moo.... I'm an Interplay Cow. (Ready to be milked with a Fallout style MMORPG with aliens!)
 
Here's my two cents.

If this joke started up (or down) in Australia i can see that saying "yeah it is" out loud trying to sound like an autralian sound like "here it is".

news to me i just learned that penguins don't swim they paddle!!!!!!!! So that's also probably it.

Beside that ????????????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

This really doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe the joke is that it isn't funny at all and it was something created to torture people that are somewhat obsessive with things like this.
 
It's basically the same thing (I'm guessing) that's just like a very old joke I heard many a year ago:

Q: Why don't bicycle seats have sleeves?

A: Oranges

I swear I didn't make that up; someone actually told that to me.

"Did we give up when the GERMAN'S bombed Pearl Harbor?"
 
Here is an alternate to that joke:

Two guys are in the desert canoeing and one guy says to the
other "where's your paddle? and the other guy says "sure does."
(takes a minute to figure out).

--

My logic: Both jokes say they're paddling in a desert, therefore if they're just plowing sand, it would "wear down" the paddle. The question is asked vocally, "where's" sound the same as "wears." "Wears your paddle?" "Sure does."

Idea of real intent: You can't paddle a canoe in a desert, there's no water to canoe in, or else it wouldn't be a desert.
