Duck

[McKrackin]

A duck walks into a pub and orders a beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on -- you're a duck!"

"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.

"And you can talk!" exclaims the barman.

"I see your ears are working, too," says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"

"Certainly, sorry about that," says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing 'round this way?"

"I'm working on the building across the road," he explains. "I'm a dry-waller."

The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it. So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves.

The same thing happens for two weeks.

Then one day a circus comes to town. The ringmaster comes to the pub for a pint and the barman says to him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that would be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"

"Sounds marvelous," says the ringmaster, handing over his biz card. "Have him give me a call."

So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."

"I'm always looking for the next job," says the duck. "Where is it?"

"At the circus," says the barman.

"The circus?" repeats the duck.

"That's right," replies the barman.

"That place with the big tent?"

"Yeah," the barman replies.

"With all the animals who live in cages and performers who live in caravans?"

"Of course," the barman replies.

"And the tent has canvas sides and a big roof with a hole in the middle?"

"That's right!" says the barman.

After a pause, the duck replies . . . "WTF would they want with a dry-waller!?"
