The Duck

[Binky Bainbridge]

A Duck walks into a bar and orders a beer. The barman says, "Hey, you're a duck"
"Nothing wrong with your eyesight," observes the duck.
"Yeah, but I mean - you can TALK," says the barman.
"Guess your ears are fine too," answers the duck. "Now, can I have a beer please."

The barman serves the duck a pint and asks him,
"So, what brings a duck like you to these parts?"
"Oh," says the duck, "I'm working on the building site across the road. I'll be here for a couple of weeks, and I'll most likely come in every lunch time for a pint." The duck slurped down his beer, wiggling his tail happily.

Just as he said, the duck waddled over from his job at the building site every day and had his lunch time beer.

The next week, the circus came to town on its annual round. The Circus owner wandered in for a beer and the barman told him about the talking duck.

"You should get this duck to join your circus," he says. "For a little consideration, I could hook you up with this duck and you could make lots of bucks. Everyone would love to see a talking duck don't you think?"

The circus man nodded his head in agreement excitedly while sipping his beer, and the barman agreed to talk to the duck about the circus.

The following day, the duck came in at lunch time as usual. The barman said to the duck (with $ signs in his eyes), "You know, the circus is in town, and yesterday I was chatting to the owner about you. He's very interested in you."
"Really?" says the duck.
"Yeah. You could make a lot of money there. I can fix it up for you easily."
"Hang on," said the duck. "You did say a CIRCUS, didn't you?"
"That's right."
"That's one of those big tent things, isn't it? With a big pole in the middle?"
"Yeah!"
"That's canvas, isn't it?" said the duck.
"Of course," replied the barman, "I can get you a job there starting tomorrow.
The circus owner's dead keen on the idea."
The duck looked very puzzled. "But why would he want to hire a plasterer?"

C'mon Horsie!! A talking duck, or a plasterer????

Don't you remember the "talking frog/prince" joke? Similar.

Why would I want a "Prince", when I can have a talking frog??

A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead go into a bar with a preacher, a priest, and a rabbi. The bartender has a monkey on his shoulder with a banana. At the bar sits an alligator, a duck, a frog, and a donkey. Up rides the Lone Ranger with Tonto, who says "are you all right, Baba Louie"? The Pink Panther says "all riiiiiigght"! Then he exits----stage left.
