Way, way off-topic

[dean_shan]

My Mom lied to me! When I was younger she told me that Duck's quacks do not echo. According to Professor Trevor Cox (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3086890.stm) they do echo you just can't hear it very well.

[Pat Logsdon]

Moms don't lie! Perhaps this "Professor" Trevor Cox isn't all he's quacked up to be.

:mrgreen:

She was probably just mistaken :)

We really should have a contest of the crazi-est thread of the month.

Thanks though. I liked the one I made when we made them a while back, so I re-did it without the background and shrunk it down to fit. I don't know if I'll keep it forever (and I hope ctmagnus doesn't think I'm a copy-cat), but I like it for now.

But we should get back on topic in this off-topic thread before we get a :nonono:

I fear this thread is the albatross around the neck of the forums. Mynah head is hurting just from reeding it - I mean, it started off as such a pheasant conversation. Then it swiftly deterioriated when everyone started puffin their chests, thrushing to post to demonstrate their pun-prowess...

I fledge heron now, this chick will never let fly with another duck-related pun.... Emu will have to continue without me... Talk to me wren you can hold a meaningful conversation.... :razzing:

Why thank you for the raven review, Janak! My grandfather (the old coot) always said (while he was puffin on his pipe) that a good pun is tonic for the soul - it'll put heron your chest! Unfortunately, I tried them with a girl named Phoebe once (I wasn't very swift back then), and it didn't go on very long before she said I should go fly a kite - it was plover between us. She also told me to jump in a lake, but I dove instead. Boy did I have egg on my face!

Then I switched to bird puns and the chicks were all over me - I had to tell them to wait their tern - I didn't want to be pigeon-holed as the kind of guy who'd thrush into anything.

I think this is my magnum opus.

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgery. As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, Cuddles has passed away." The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure? "Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead", he replied. "How can you be so sure",she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out, and returned a few moments later with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!", she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead?!!"

The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan....." :wink:

Q: Why did the duck have to quit his job with the sanitation department?

A: Because he always got down in the dumps!

[Kati Compton]

A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender for corn. The bartender says "We have no corn, get out of here." The duck leaves.

The next day he comes back and asks for corn again, and the bartender says "I told you, we don't have any corn! Get out!" The duck leaves.

The next day he goes in again and asks for corn, and the bartender says, "For the last time, we don't have corn! If you ever ask for corn again, I'm going to nail those webbed feet of yours to the floor!" The duck leaves.

The next day the duck comes and asks, "Do you have any nails?" The bartender says, "No, of course not. Why would a bar have nails?" The duck says, "Good. Then can I have some corn?"

[Jeff Rutledge]

A hunter heads out of town for an early morning start on the first day of duck hunting season. After waiting about an hour, he shoots a beauty and it falls into a farmer's field about a half-kilometer away. He goes after it and reaches the fence bordering the farmer's field. The hunter looks around and doesn't see anybody or any KEEP OUT signs, so he hops the fence. He makes it just a few steps when he hears a sound behind him. He turns around to see the farmer standing a few feet away with a rifle cocked and ready.

"What in the devil are you doing on my property?" asks the farmer.

"I just bagged a duck and it fell on your land. I didn't mean to intrude. If you'll just let me get the duck, I'll be on my way," the hunter replied.

"Sorry. That's my duck," states the farmer matter-of-factly. "It's on my land, so it's my duck."

"I'm afraid not," replies the hunter. "I shot the duck, it's mine!"

The two men go back and forth a few times more, neither giving an inch. Finally the farmer offers a solution.

"We'll settle this the old fashioned way," begins the farmer. "We each take turns kicking each other in the groin as hard as we can and whoever is left standing at the end gets the duck."

The hunter thinks about this for a while and finally agrees (it was a really nice duck).

"OK," says the farmer. "I'll go first." He puts down his rifle and then winds up and kicks the hunter between the legs as if he was going for a 50-yard game-winning field goal in the final minutes of the Super Bowl.

The hunter drops like a sack of hammers. He rolls around on the ground in pain, gasping for breath. After almost 10 minutes he is finally able to support himself on one knee. He is still out of breath and, his face red with pain, finally able to prop himself up to a hunched position. Five minutes more pass before the hunter is finally able to catch his breath and stand upright.

"OK," says the hunter. "It's my turn. Get ready."

The farmer doesn't move. He looks the hunter up and down slowly and then says, "Nah, you keep the duck."

And the duck said "No, but he knew how to mind his own fu**in' business."

That's really odd. The quote in my post is what I got when I pressed the quote button on the post immediately above this one.

Anyway, I was going to say that the "frayed knot" joke is my personal favorite one to tell of all time....I get beat up a lot. :D

EDIT: Now I am really confused, because when I first went to post this, the post above it (coincidentally, the one I pressed the QUOTE button on) was a joke about a piece of rope or string (I forget which)...and if that joke was still there, this post would have made a lot more sense.

[maximus]

Ah, that's because originally, I posted this joke:

Two strings are walking down the street when they see a duck walk into a bar. They say, "If a duck can go in a bar, so can we". So the first string walks in, sits down next to the duck and yells to the bartender, "Gimme a beer!" The bartender looks at him and says, "Aren't you a string?" The string goes, "Yeah, so what?" The bartender says, "We don't serve strings and throws him out into the street. The second string sees all this and he sneaks into the bathroom, ties himself in a half-hitch and grabs a comb and frizzes one end of himself so it looks like he has an afro. Then he walks up to the bar and says, "Gimme a beer!" The bartender looks at him a minute and says, "Hey, aren't you a string?"

Punchline The string replies, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot."

But then I edited the post and change it to the above. :D

[stitics]

OK...it all makes sense now.

[Jonathon Watkins]

OK...it all makes sense now.

8O Umm, having read all that I beg to differ. 8O

:lol:

[stitics]

OK...here's how it went down...

1. Maximus posted a joke.

2. I started writing a reply, utilizing the Quote button. I did not think to ensure that the quote said what I wanted it to say...I assumed that it would, since it did when I pressed the button.

3. Presumably, moments before I pressed the Quote button he "edited" the joke...in fact, changed it to an entirely different joke, thereby making my comment make absoloutely no sense.

But I do see how it still doesn't make sense. :D

My Mom lied to me! When I was younger she told me that Duck's quacks do not echo. According to Professor Trevor Cox (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3086890.stm) they do echo you just can't hear it very well.

In case your mother ever tells you anything else, I would suggest you consult the supreme expert on everything, Cecil Adams (http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_071.html).

You Bet Your Life - Hosted by Groucho Marx of the Marx Brothers - 1950 to 1961 - If you said the secret word a duck came down with your prize. I can't beleive I'm explaining this on what is essentially a Friday's funnies post., So it was a joke, ha ha.

*Ahem*

Returning to the original post....

No one's mentioned that it is true that originally a ducks' quack was believed not to echo - it was only a year or so ago that someone actually proved it did - so, Mom didn't lie, per se, technology proved her wrong, eventually :)
