Bad Sign Number Six Million And Nine

Zombie ducks.

I don’t know why, but the phrase ‘shot duck’ cracks me up—possibly because it has the word ‘duck’ in it.

 

But does anyone else think it’s strange that these people shot the duck for the purpose of eating it, then, two days later, found that it was still alive and rushed it to the hospital? Now, I would have done the same thing,* but it brings up an interesting point about when something crosses the line between ‘food’ and ‘living creature.’ Maybe they’d figured the duck had suffered enough.  Maybe they just had to give credit to its will to live. Or maybe it had to do with who found the duck—not the hunter, but his wife.

 

In any case, this is—yes, I am going to say it—one lucky duck.

*Well, okay, I wouldn’t have shot the duck in the first place, but if I had.

My Dad has often made me listen to a sketch by a 1950's French comedian, precisely involving a duck who simply refused to die. Don't you love it when reality meets comedy?

When something is that determined, you can't just eat it.
