The duck stays

Posted at 2:36 PM on February 13, 2008 by Bob Collins (2 Comments)

Following up on yesterday's news item about a woman in Ulen, Minn., who wanted to keep her duck in defiance of a city ordinance: the City Council voted 3-1 last night to allow
Monika Spitzmiller to keep the duck, named Houdini. She had to get license -- a duck license? -- and provide proof from a vet that the duck is healthy.

Well at least this is one duck that won't have to swim around in a hotel's fake pond and be subject to a drunk twisting it's neck off...

So what happens when a duck flies upside down?

He quacks up...
ba da boom...

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where the guy wants a license for his pet fish. I suggest she change the duck's name to Eric.
