| 636608 | 2008-02-03 05:06:00 | boy, i wish that guy had swerved just before he hit me, that would have been good! Although, i guess he was only going 10 down his driveway, oh well | AMD3ALL3THE3WAY3 (116) | ||
| 636609 | 2008-02-03 05:24:00 | Well a few years ago I did swerve for a drake that was sitting in the middle of my lane on a back road. Came round the corner and there he was, a rather handsome fellow too. Car behind so couldn't brake too hard and if I'd gone into the other lane he'd have flown into me. Fortunately enough room to see it, calculate the distance between him and the bank, and the distance to the car behind me. Made the rational decision to brake slightly, go round him to the left without risking life and limb by going into the ditch, then accelerate out of it. Just missed him but gave him the fright of his life and he took off. The car behind succeeded in missing him as well. Any closer to the corner and he would have been history - or I would if I'd tried to miss him. |

| 636611 | 2008-02-03 05:52:00 | A male duck. And bank as in side of road, not the one you enter with a loaded shotgun. |

| 636612 | 2008-02-03 05:54:00 | But, how do you know it was male? I'll admit I don't know much about ducks, but I didn't know their .... as some would say, 'bollocks' .... could be seen from THAT far away. Oh, no, but there you are wrong, you never enter a bank with a loaded shotgun, always a loaded pee-shooter. Much safer. |

| 636613 | 2008-02-03 06:04:00 | Open your eyes. They are huge. Can be seen from a very great distance. Or alternatively look at the birds themselves. The ducks are quite plain and boring in colouring, the males quite colorful. Bit like peacocks and peahens. The males are blue with large feathers, the females smaller and brown. |

| 636614 | 2008-02-03 06:23:00 | Duck expert now aye? Didn't know they had the Discovery channel on Mercury. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 636615 | 2008-02-03 06:34:00 | Oh, dear. Nobody took WolfForest to feed the ducks anywhere when he was little. So he never asked:"Why are some of them pretty colours & others just plain?" Can't tell a duck from a drake..? Obviously had a deprived childhood... |

| 636616 | 2008-02-03 06:37:00 | Probably thought duck meant "Pull your head in". | R2x1 (4628) | ||
