I took 'admirable' to mean you admire them for overcoming hardships etc
And there's no 'March of the Ostriches' film.

Oh I can't stand ostriches

I'm crap at lateral thinking.

I'm good at it
When I twig that I'm supposed to be thinking laterally, rather than answering an odd but twee question.

Perhaps what she's trying to ask is
"Is it better to bury one's head in the sand than to waddle around in a large group making "Auk! Auk!" noises?"

This is very close
I was asking if it's better to bury my head in the sand than march grimly and slowly on

Ah, with you now.
And in that case, I'm afraid my answer may also be penguin. (As I am learning quite rapidly at the moment)

Penguin it is then.

Except, according to QI, ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand
They just lower them so they can scan the horizon.

I think laterally half the time
it would be more convenient all of the time.

Why, what would happen if I said ostrich?

(, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 15:27, Reply)
You get spunked on by a lemming.

(, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 15:33, Reply)
Then I shall say penguin.

(, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 15:37, Reply)
*consoles lemming*

(, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 15:42, Reply)
He can still spunk away if he wants to
just not on me.
