The title is the punchline from an old joke. It is responded very loudly to the question: How do you sell a duck to a deaf man? (Ta-dum, thank-you to Mr. L) 
I went to an auction on Saturday. It was at Dave Miller's in St. Cloud. And low and behold, I bought a duck.
Dave sold it as "some kind of metal decoy". And noted that it had a ruptured butt.
Well I just needed to have this duck. And it ain't no decoy.
It is a lawn sprinkler. The hose connects at the base and without the blowout, the water squirts out the bill.
It is a wonderful addition to my sprinkler collection. So the answer is: Yes, I wanna buy a duck.

Years ago the rug rats were all in a play at church. One group of lines has stuck with the 4 of us every since and we use it on each other fairly often:
"You wanna' buy a duck?
Does it quack?
'Course it quacks".
It's amazing how many situations that fits when you involve 4 crazy folks!!
Thanks for the big smile this morning!
Oh my gosh - I am laughing SO HARD - does it quack? 'course it quacks!!! I would have bought the duck too!!! See? You fit perfectly with the rest of the red.necks. LOLOLOL
He is PERFECT where you have him sitting!!! Grin at him for me when you wander past him...

The whole thing quacks me up too.
If you buy a duck on credit, do you put it on his bill?
love it.
I LOVE my duck (well, I did see him first!!) Take good care of him for me - he is so awesome!!
Kris - You didn't even know what kind of duck he was until I showed you that it was a sprinkler. And you went to a different auction without putting a bid on his bill.
y'all are going to get me in trouble for being in a fit of the giggles when a client wanders in!!!
Nobody asked the bird lady if the client "wanders in" or "waddles in"...
;-)
