| Entertaining the Ducks
There was this farmer who had a pond in back of his house but no
ducks in the pond. He had always wanted ducks in the pond so one
day he buys a pair of tame ducks. The ducks prospered and, in fact,
their number doubled evey year.
Since the ducks were the non-migrating variety after a few years the
farm was overun with ducks. The farmer still liked the ducks and
didn't have the heart to shoot them but the density of ducks was
overwhemling.
After thinking it over he deciding he would give them to the city
zoo. So he calls his neighbor down the road, who has a truck, and
says to him "I'll pay you ten dollars if you will take these ducks
to the zoo for me".
His neighbor scratched his head and then, after a bit of thought,
agreed. So off he drove with the ducks.
After a few hours, the neighbour has not returned from the city and
the farmer is getting worried that something went wrong. He gets in
his car and drives into the city only to see his neighbor's truck
parkedoutside of the local movie theater with the neighbor sitting
in the cab.
He asks his neighbor what is going on, and the neighbour says, "Well
I still had money left after taking them to the zoo, so I though I
would take them to the movies with the remainder..."
