Ducks are smarter than dogs....
Permalink  

Went for our swim yesterday arvo and sitting in th middle of the river are 2 ducks with offspring. Gracie spots them and "points" I tell her to calm down assuming the ducks would fly away..... no such luck, mrs duck goes into broken wing mode father duck flys off low along the river Gracie immediatley takes of in pursuit of mother Duck being fooled into thinking she can catch it.... so I'm sitting there wondering where Gracie is, the 2 ducks return and round up the flock hidden in the reeds and no sign of Gracie, then 45 mins into this scenario I see this little black head appear way way off swimming back against the current.. Not very bright, why she just didn't run back along the bank I don't know and she isn't saying, I suspect she has been hanging around aged care institutions too long....

50 cents a time, Terro?

Long time since you put your hand in your pocket to buy one, obviously.

Just short arms and deep pockets, Terro.
Nothing more self serving than that.
Not even with ice-cream.
Just inferring that you were in the habit of getting someone else to to serve you.
With ice-cream, that is.

Rolly, really! I am cut to the quick, or medium as I don't move as fast as I used to. A priviledge of being "senior" man on the car I believe.
