A Duck Tale

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.

The barman looks at him and says, 'But you're a duck'.

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

'And you talk!' exclaims the barman.

'I see your ears are working', says the duck, 'Now can I have my beer and my sandwich please?'

'Certainly', says the barman, '...sorry about that, 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 site across the road', explains the duck who then drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, and leaves.

This continues for 2 weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town.

The Ringleader of the circus comes into the pub and the barman says to him, 'You're with the circus aren't you? Man is this your lucky day! I know this duck that would be just brilliant in your show, he talks, drinks beer and everything!'.

'Sounds marvelous', says the ringleader, 'get him to 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 really top job, paying really top money!'

'Yeah?', says the duck, 'Sounds great, where is it?'

'At the circus', says the barman.

'The circus?' the duck inquires.

'That's right', replies the barman.

'The circus?' the duck asks again.

'Yes' says the barman.

'That place with the big tent?'

'Yeah' the barman replies.

'With all the animals?'

'Of Course' the barman replies.

'With the big canvas roof with the hole in the middle' ?

'That's right!' says the barman.

The duck looks confused and says

'What the hell would they want with a plasterer?
