A duck walks into a stockbrokers office and puts 500 bucks onto his desk
and says "I want to buy 500 bucks worth of Microsoft shares".
The stockbroker looks at him and says "But you're a duck".
Duck: "Yeah, I'm a duck, so what?"
Broker: "But you can talk"
Duck: "Yeah, I'm a duck and I can talk, what of it?"
Broker: "Where did you get 500 bucks?"
Duck: "See out the window, see that building site over there?
Broker: "Yes"
Duck: "Well I'm a bricklayer, and I get paid good money, so for the next 5
months I'll be coming back here to buy 500 bucks worth of shares weekly"
Broker: "Listen, I've got a friend who owns a circus, and I bet you he
would pay a lot more for you than what you're getting now"
Duck: "A circus? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a circus always
travelling to different towns?"
Broker: "Yep"
Duck: "And don't these circus people live in tents and caravans?'
Broker: "Yep"
Duck: "Then why the f*** would they need a bricklayer?"
and says "I want to buy 500 bucks worth of Microsoft shares".
The stockbroker looks at him and says "But you're a duck".
