What the Duck?

or Duck in the Truck

Co-worker Mark (Hi Mark), who is a regular reader and the official Life of Brian joke supplier, called his wife early this morning from work and the conversation went a little like this:

Mark: What are you doing this morning?
Wife: Why?
Mark: I need for you to drive out to the plant this morning.
Wife: Why?
Mark: I’ve got a duck.
Wife: What?!?
Mark: I’ve got a duck in the truck.
Wife: Why?

On his way into work, Mark spotted a wood duck sitting in the middle of the soon to be very busy Whiskey Road. He stopped and picked up the duck who appeared disorientated and didn’t try and get away. He was not too far from Hopeland Gardens, a city park with a little lake that has a small duck population, so maybe that is where this female duck came from. While his wfe didn’t seem too happy about this particular duck episode, it is entirely in character for Mark, so it is not unexpected. He gave me a brief run down on all the critters he has rescued in his lifetime and if it starts raining for forty straight days Mark could fill an ark with them all. Mark was hoping that she would take the duck to Hopeland Gardens, but ended up taking it home. I’ll keep you posted.

This morning was a cool 50°, but to me it felt cold, so I requested a top up drive to work. After work it was in the low 80s, but to Donna it felt hot, so she asked for the top to stay up and use the AC. So, today was a near perfect spring day and we never lowered the convertible top.
