I thought that a paradox was someone with two Phd’s.

Reminiscent of an Alan Sherman song: “One Hippopotami.”

(best Chico Marx) “Why a duck?” (C’mon! ONE of you rubes was thinking of this. I’m just the one who said it first.) ;)

So why does he have so many?

Noah, just learning the ropes.

I usually think of this with a couple of doctors.

Good duck joke! Let the duck jokes begin!

Every day, a bartender would go to his bar, open the front and back door to air it out and then start to clean in preparation for opening. And every day, a duck would fly in, land on the bar, and look at the bartender and say: “got any duck tape?”… The bartender would say “NO! Now get outa here!”… and swing a broom at him, and the duck would fly out.

He was busy cleaning one morning when the duck flew back in and asked if he had any duck tape. Fed up with the duck, the bartender snapped… he grabbed the duck by the neck and said: “look, it’s “Duct tape”, and if you don’t stop buggin’ me, I’m gonna nail your webbed feet to this bar and use you as my personal punching bag! Now get outa here and don’t come back… and threw the duck out the back door.

Several days passed, and the bartender was cleaning one morning when the duck returned. The duck landed on the bar, looked the bartender right in the eyes and said: “got any nails?” Caught off guard, the bartender said “um, no!”… the duck said:

“Good! Got any duck tape?”

How is this not here yet? Duck walks into a drug store and says, “Gimme some ChapStick and put it on my bill.”. Ba-dump bump.

He should have gone to a wiseman who had paradigms. That would be a change.

Does Bleeb have a question or is he declaring something too?

Silly goose!

I’ll take the pair of ducks, they will work nicely with my partially paralyzed paramour’s penguin.

You mean it’s not a cabaret, old chum?

Funny……

This guy’s nothing but a quack.

Wait until you see his bill.

This one quacked me up!

Pair of Docs is good advice if needing a second opinion.

Makes more sense than a pair of ducks.

A pair of Doc’s sittin’ on the docks watching the ducks and talking about paradox while wearing a pair of Doc Martins.

Only one Bleeb. :)

Got any 10 inch pianists?
