California Sea Lion
A man walks into a bar where the only other occupant is a seal.
he orders a beer and hears the seal say “I like your tie.” confused the man ignores the seal.
But every few minutes the seal calls out another complement.
When the bartender comes the man asks “what’s with the mammal?”
to that the bartender replies “oh that is our seal of approval”
Interesting Fact: California sea lions may hunt continuously for up to 30 hours, with each dive lasting three to five minutes. ( http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/california-sea-lion/ )

Hey, a kindred spirit! I’m also crazy about animals, nature, humor and art. Thanks for taking the time to read one of my poems. I’ve only just started my blog but it’s great meeting others floating around in the ether with me. Your photos are pretty cool and, of course, the joke stuff is right up my alley so don’t stop.
All the best, buddy.
