The Story of My Duck I have this stuffed yellow duck that I have been sleeping with for the last year or so. It is a bit of a funny story who this duck might be. I used to have a friend that was a Buddhist and always wanted to come back as a Duck. Well, I had been sleeping with this Duck for a few months and it was getting to be a bit of a Dirty Duck so I decided to wash it in the bathtub. I commented to a friend on the phyco-symatic effects that sensationalist mass media stories can have on people. When I was washing my duck I had it face down in the water and it felt like I was Water Boarding my Duck! Then a few days later I got to thinking about this joke I’ve been telling for years. Three men died and were standing together at the pearly gates in front of St. Peter. St. Peter looks them up in the Book of Life and tells them “The three of you have been ok, but not quite good enough to get into Heaven. We’ll give you a second chance. You can go back to earth for six months as anything you want to be. If you are good enough for those six months then we will let you into heaven. So, what do you want to be?” The first guy says “I want to be a Bald Eagle and soar over America.” The second guy says “I want to be a Lion in Africa.” The third guy says “I want to be a Stud! Well, six months later the Bald Eagle and the Lion are back up at the Pearly Gates and St. Peter is looking at what all they had done for the last six months and deciding if they had been good enough to get into Heaven. The two men were talking with each other then they ask St. Peter “Where’s that guy who wanted to be a Stud?” St. Peter answers “He’s on a Snow Tire somewhere in Alaska.” Makes me wonder......? I guess a person has to be careful what they wish for (or be reincarnated as). I don’t think my friend was wanting to come back as a Stuffed Duck. But he must have been good enough to be my Duck instead of going to some mean little kid that rips all his stuffing out. Disclamer: This is true, personal, original and it really happened this way. I claim copyright ( other then to the included joke of unknown author) and release it into to public domain. ttyl
