A duck, dressed as a construction worker, waddled into a pub, ordered a beer and ham sandwich, and read a newspaper. Shocked, the bartender served him, learning he was a plasterer at a nearby site. The duck returned daily for two weeks. When a circus manager visited, the bartender suggested the talking duck for the show, sharing the manager’s card. The next
day, the bartender pitched the circus job to the duck, highlighting great pay. The duck, intrigued, asked about the job. When told it was at the circus with a big tent, caged animals, and trailers, he frowned and asked, “Why would they need a plasterer?”
