I just got an unsolicited call about Duck Cleaning...

I don't don't know why I got this call, because I don't own any ducks. I don't live on a duck farm either, gawd dammit.

If I did live on a duck farm, I'd clean my own damn ducks. Hell, I thought that ducks were pretty good at cleaning themselves, with all the swimming and grooming that they do.

Next, I'll guess that these same people will call me back about cleaning chickens or geese, the latter being some ill-tempered, nasty-assed birds. Good luck with that.

Needless to say that that call about non-existent ducks has put me in one foul mood.

Shoot, "duck cleaning." What will they think up next?

Maybe they said luck. If you have had a string of bad luck you'd want your luck cleaned up with some kind of spell

Geese too. You wouldn't think it but where I lived in suburban MD at one point, ducks were identified as the #1 cause of environmental pollution within the community of Kemp Mill, MD--exceeding both humans and industry. It seems that duck feces are a major source of groundwater pollution and ducks are prolific, indiscriminate shitters.

It's birthed a new expression between my brother Crash and I...something is shittier than a duck.

Next you'll be telling me that my wife wanted saltines when she asked me to stop by the store and pick up a box of quackers.

Yeesh.
