WANNA BUY A DUCK?

Everyone knows (and hates) my favorite joke. Do you know how to sell a duck to a deaf man? The answer of course is to yell "DO YOU WANNA BUY A DUCK?" as loud as you can, preferably while seated in a nice quiet restaurant having dinner with your spouse's employer discussing his or her new promotion.
Well, we may have need to actually use that phrase a bunch. When we came home from Colorado, we were surprised to find a new friend in the garage. She likes to sit on top of gardening machinery surveying the territory.
I got her to dance a little jig on the trampoline for me. It was really a lot of fun to watch, but -
She does have a nasty habit of squawking at 5:55 AM just outside our window. We have no idea where she came from. She hopped the fence to visit the other Phillips family, but came right back when the big dog came out. She is visiting next door again. Hopefully she makes a couple of new friends.

Michael wants to know if he can fly and if he's still at your house? Very fun - we enjoyed the ducks in our yard a few weeks ago - but they were only here for few minutes. Very funny! Who knew you'd find a way to use that joke on your blog?
