Goat: What do you have there, Rat?
Rat: A great toy I invented. It's a new take on the jack-in-the-box. Crank the handle and try it.
Goat: Duck-in-a-box is not a good toy.
Rat: 'Toys R Us,' here I come.
Well, for a mercenary like Li’l Guard Duck, a job is a job, even if attached to a spring in a box. But he seems a little slow to fire his RPG today! I hope he’s not getting to be too old for his line of work….

Goat’s wrong. Nothing wrong about a duck in the box. Now Guard Duck in the box might be a bad idea, especially if that RPG has a hair trigger to it.

That’s more a “home security device” than a toy…

if he can get those on the shelves before in-laws arrive on Christmas Eve, he’ll have a bestseller.

It would sell well in Eugene Oregon. They love anything ‘Duck’. Just the opposite in Corvallis Oregon where Duck is considered a dirty word.

Sad to say, but in this day and age, Rat would have lots of potential customers.
