A duck walks into a grocery store, waddles up to the manager, and
loudly asks: 'Got any duck food??' The manager glares at the duck:
'What the hell? We don't serve ducks here! Get out of my store!'
Next day, same duck returns, comes up behind manager and quacks:
'Got any duck food??' The manager jumps, startled. 'Dammit! I told
you, we don't sell to ducks! Scram, before i nail your beak to
the floor!' ..Duck waddles quickly out.. But (you guessed it)..
Next day, same time duck sneaks in.. walks up to manager, and
asks: 'Hi, er, do you sell nails here?' The manager yells: 'You
Dumb Shit! This is a GROCERY store! No, we don't sell any NAILS!'
Duck ponders a moment.... 'So... Got any duck food?
