Transcript:
Lemming 1: Well, boys, this is it... the edge of the cliff... staring into the dark void. Lemming 2: So when do you think the plumber will be done with our sprinkler system? Lemming 2: Not soon enough.
No wisecracks, okay? Let the lemmings handle the light remarks about the dark void. I dare say a pant-load of lemmings would not be a pleasant plumber’s fate!
Jumping into the ocean was an old lemming tradition that, over time, faded into obscurity. It’s now become a vestigial ceremony in which they jump through a sprinkler.
That platform three feet below the cliff was newly installed, at the insistence of the insurance company.In order to get in an early comment, I have to get up at the crack of Don.
@ Stan King -The picture to which you refer, although removed from the website after a while, was posted elsewhere all over the internet. Shocking to say the least! At least a NSFW warning was posted…
Lemmings don’t really jump off a cliff. That’s a myth started by good old Disney. They filmed a nature show and ran a bunch of lemmings off a cliff to sell tickets. Think about that the next time you think of Disney as family-friendly entertainment.

All this time, the lemmings were jumping into that crack… explains so much. Worse than suicide, I imagine.

I don’t think anyone has said anything about staring into the abyss.

PLEASE! The last thing these lemmings want to see before they jump is a man’s butt crack.
