NOTE FROM CARL:
Remember a couple of weeks ago? I said
it was that or the list about the ducks?
Yeah… well, you asked for it!


The Top 7 Items on
That List About the Ducks


7> A duck’s quack does not echo. Scientists have no idea why we should care.

6> Ducks, docks, dicks, decks — why aren’t there any *dacks*? What is the government hiding from us?

5> Whenever I hear my wife’s orgasm sound, I feel compelled to buy that insurance.

4> “GAAAAAAHHH! Oh my GOD, Uncle Donald, put on some PANTS!”

3> As my date and the waiter sweatily writhed in the rind-filled Jell-O pit, I realized she hadn’t ordered *duck* a l’orange after all!

2> Only one species of fowl has the remarkable ability to fly hundreds of miles in spectacular V formation to the precise location of seasonal nesting grounds, yet cannot give a rabbit accurate directions to Pismo Beach.

and the Number 1 Item on That List About the Ducks…

1> As my chastened young son and I left the principal’s office, we both learned something that day: Other families don’t play “duck-duck-goose” the way we do.
