Well, I don’t know why not a chicken; I’m a stranger here myself. All I know is that it’s a viaduct. You try to cross over there a chicken and you’ll find out why a duck. It’s…It’s deep water, that’s why a duck. It’s deep water. ---

I find absolutely nothing unbelievable that there’s one crank in Utah who is utterly scandalized by homophones\*, and has a lot of spare time to write letters about it. \*Largely because he thinks they’re a sex thing. ---
