A duck walks into a convenience store, goes up to the counter, and asks the clerk, "Got any grapes?"
The clerk says, "I'm sorry, but no, we don't have any grapes." The duck walks out.
The next day the duck walks into the convenience store, goes up to the counter, and asks the clerk, "Got any grapes?"
The clerk says, "No, sorry, no grapes." The duck walks out.
The next day the duck walks into the convenience store, goes up to the counter, and asks the clerk, "Got any grapes?"
The clerk says, "No. This is a convenience store. We don't sell fruit. We don't have any grapes." The duck walks out.
The next day the duck walks into the convenience store, goes up to the counter, and asks the clerk, "Got any grapes?"
This time, the clerk loses it. He glares at the duck, leans forward over the counter so his face is inches from the duck's, and says, "Listen, I told you three times already that we don't have any grapes. We don't carry grapes. You come into my store again and ask for grapes, and I'm gonna nail your beak to the counter!"
A couple of days go by with no sign of the duck. But on the third day, the duck walks into the convenience store and goes up to the counter. The clerk stands there watching him, his face turning red and steam coming out of his ears. The duck looks at him, and says, "Got any nails?"
The clerk looks at him, exhales, and then says in a gentle voice, "No, sorry, we don't have any nails."
So the duck says, "Got any grapes?"
Not a very convenient store... or not for ducks anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is the closet store. Or not. 😁
DeleteAmusing, but why a duck?
ReplyDeleteI found a book that might be able to shed some light on the subject... https://www.amazon.com/Why-Duck-Richard-Anobile/dp/0380004526
DeleteI sense in Kirk a fellow Marx Brothers aficionado.
ReplyDeleteI think he's done several posts on them.
DeleteGood one. Made me LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to start the day.
DeleteIt's always good to be cautious.
ReplyDeleteEspecially to avoid being nailed.
DeleteI know several people who think like that duck.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the sad truth.
