1. Um, this is 21st century America.

Most of us are destined to end up like the duck -- plucked, gutted, and hung up to roast by the fire until we become a crispy treat for the 1%.

5. Hmmm. So you spent three years pumping the Duck full of steroids??

The Barry Bonds of Ducks!!

6. There's a joke in there somewhere

[annabanana]

3. So.. They're selling franchises?

Sounds kind of pyramiddy to me.

4. All their TV agents seem so happy!

BTW, I hate their new ads

10. Their real life agents

seem kinda drunk, and definitely under informed or possibly willing to lie.

At least judging by my experience when my boss brought them in as an alternate to getting health insurance for the company

11. I've never met one in real life

12. I have a cousin who works for them

She's one of the top agents in her office and even though she's a full-time employee, because the work is commission-only they don't actually provide her with health insurance. I think it's a convenient loophole the company put in place, but it's crazy (imho) that even though she works for an insurance company she has to buy her own health insurance.

7. "Not without Gilbert."

8. I miss Gilbert

9. That must be what these ducks are discussing
