The Dead Duck story


Posted: Nov 21, 2010

A kind elderly farmer's wife took a limp duck to the veterinarian.  She cried out, "My duck just lies there and will not get up.  Please help."  So the Vet after carefully examining the duck, just shook his head and said, " I am afraid your duck is dead, lady.  There is nothing I can do."  So then she cried out and said, "Please get a second opinion, he just might be in a coma."  So the veterinarian brought in a black labrador and the dog leaned up on exam table and sniffed the duck from head to toe.  Then he slowly shook his head back and forth.  The Veterinarian told the lady her duck was dead.   She again cried out that she wanted more expert opinions.  So the Vet brought in a cat to examine the duck.  He jumped up on exam table and examined the duck from one end to the other.  Then the cat looked sad and shook his head, indicating that duck was dead.  So that was the end of exams.  The Vet told the poor lady that his decision was final.  

Then the farmer's wife accepted the fate of her duck and asked what the bill was.  The Vet informed her his services were $220.  The lady was absolutely outraged, "Why you did nothing but tell me my duck was dead."   The Vet said that was right and it would have been only $20, but he had to order extra tests, so the Lab report and CAT scan were $200.

When It Walks Like A Duck..May 15, 2012
He was raised as a Muslum. He read the Koran. He lived in a predominantly Muslum country. He used to be a Muslim. And what's funny, his pastor of 20 years whome he said he never listened to, used to be a Muslim as well, and changed over to the Black Value System at his Trinity Church in Chicago. And that's where he spewed out hate speech after hate speech about how America is "God-damned" and hates "ignorant, arrogant white people". And Obama listened very carefully, though h ...

Another international crisis . . . terrorists at it again: Fox News has confirmed that one American has died in the hostage standoff at an Algerian gas complex. Officials told the Associated Press the deceased American is Texas resident, Frederick Buttaccio. It is unclear how he died. Earlier Friday, the State Department confirmed there are still American hostages being held by an Al Qaeda-linked group at the gas plant, deep in the Saharan desert.

i finally watched the last episode of the Talking Dead, there is a surprise guest on this Sunday, which means we are gong to lose someone.  They've already killed off almost every one on my list so far, I only have two left, the preacher and Sasha, and that list was supposed to last until the first part of season six.  I'm getting a little worried about Maggie as she is starting to fit the criteria, but they've only ever killed off One main character in a season finally, ...

Anyone Watch Walking Dead On AMC?Mar 19, 2012
Anyone else watch Walking Dead on AMC? I have to say, that season finale last night had me holding my breath for the first 25 minutes.  Downright horrifying and much better than what TV "horror" fare usually offers, that's for sure! At least at the end they confirmed there is indeed a season 3 in the works and didn't leave us hanging like they did at the end of season 1.  Anyway, just curious as to if anyone on these boards watches and enjoys this program as much as I do. ...

2 Firefighters Dead. More Carnage.Dec 24, 2012
The man didn't have a license for the assault rifle, as he spent time in prison for killing his grandmother. I know banning assault rifles won't immediately solve anything. There are already so many in possession. But as gun companies stop making them and they get harder and harder to obtain, they WILL gradually become less prevelent.   Keep your shotguns. Keep your handguns.  But let's compromise and ban the military style weapons.  No one needs them.  This ...

Tx History Reminds Us They Were Dead Broke When TheyNov 13, 2012
So much for all that rugged spirit of independence. US history informs us that unilateral secession is unconstitutional without the consent of the remaining states except as a byproduct of revolution. The last time that notion took a test run, it was a costly, abysmal failure. Tx does have the option of seceding from itself via subdivision into smaller states that remain in the union. None of the above options pass muster with Governor Perry now that he is harboring fantasies of a second pre ...
