I am marking Dead Duck Day with a period of quiet contemplation. Anyone else ?
I’ve never heard of this day. Certainly it deserves to be marked on the calendar.
It reminds me of a much less traumatic event. I was being interviewed for a job in one of those mirrored glass-sided buildings when our discussion was interrupted by a bird furiously banging on the wall with its beak. It was seeing its reflection in the mirror glass, and, thinking it a rival, was attacking it. I was told “this happens all the time” (The birds never learn because, apparently, their rivals in the mirror never learn, and refuse to go away).
I didn’t get the job.
That’s despicable!!! And not at all the way to make proper pressed duck!
Could change your luck, ya know.
And I thought it was Dead Wabbit Day!
So I guess a duck’s whack does echo through the years.
