I think it was a joke that played on the word "save". But by analyzing it, I have taken any humor that existed in the joke out of it.

:P

I don't think that's much of a loss. :mrgreen:

No argument. :-) Spreading an odd joke now and then is one way to cope with Mondays.

Save the Whales...collect the whole set.

Really a terrific play on words. Save the whales has been the cry of Greepeace for a couple of decades. But save also means 'to collect' or 'set aside'. Thus 'collect the whole set' turns out to be an opposite meaning to the orignal statement.

If we can get a few more people to analyze it and/or explain it, it will start to be funny again :rotfl:

Are these like at Long John Silver's with a kids's meal?

Actually, I think you have a good idea there. If I worked in marketing for a company that did promotions like the "Happy Meals" at fast food places, I'd design about a dozen toy whales for inclusion with kid's meals, with "Save the Whales" as the advertising tie-in.

Similarly, I often pack tuna-based lunch packs in my lunchbox. Most of these seem packaged for kids. As the fashion now is "dolphin-safe" tuna, they could include toy plastic dolphins. "Save the dolphins" would then do double duty.

I just don't know what to say, but that seems perfectly appropriate in this thread.

YES SAVE THE WHALES!
