Thanks for Clarifying
The question of how we can be sure that the penguin is uninterested is raised by this meme. How do we know for sure that the penguin isn’t interested? It’s 1904, so it’s reasonable to assume the penguin had never seen many bagpipes before and hadn’t been subjected to Happy Feet. There’s no way it knew it was supposed to start tap dancing to express gratitude.
For another, why did someone bring bagpipes on an Antarctic journey? I’m hoping he didn’t carry those bagpipes for miles across the icy tundra and that his ship is somewhere close by. Bagpipes weigh between five and eleven pounds, which adds significant bulk to any journey!
