This Duck walks into a bar, jumps up on to the bar and says, “I’ll have a beer”
The barman is understandably amazed and gasps “God, a talking duck”
The duck just stares at him and says “Yes I can talk, now can I get my beer”
The barman pours the duck a beer and they start chatting
“So what you doing round here then duck”
“I work on the construction site down the road. I’m a plasterer and I’m gonna be there a few months. Just building those new houses”
“Oh yeah, they look nice” So they talk for about an hour, the duck finishes his beer, says goodbye to the barman and leaves.
The next day the same thing happens, the duck comes in, orders a beer, chats to the bartender for an hour and then leaves. This goes on for a few weeks and the duck becomes a regular of the bar.
So one day the barman notices this guy at the end of the bar looking sad.
“Hey buddy what’s up?” asks the barman
“I got a problem. I work for the circus and we just came into town. I got to drum up business for us but we haven’t got a main attraction yet. We need a good one, a real show stopper and I can’t find anything”.
The barman smiles and says, “Well you’re in luck my friend. Everyday at 1 o’clock a duck comes in here and orders a beer. After that we chat for about an hour”.
“A talking duck…No way”
“Honest, you hang around and you’ll see yourself”
“Ok, I will ”
So the circus guy hangs around and then 1 o’clock comes. The door opens and in waddles the duck, jumps on the bar and orders his beer. He drinks his beer, chats to the barman and at around 2, he leaves.
The barman goes back to the circus guy and says “See, didn’t I tell you”
“WOW, that’s amazing. We have to have him in our circus. Here’s a blank cheque. Give it to him tomorrow when he comes in. We got to get that guy, we’ll pay anything”.
So the circus guy gives him the cheque and the barman tells him he’ll talk to the duck the next day.
So the following day the duck comes back in, orders his beer and chats to the barman. Halfway through the chat the barman decides to mention the circus’s offer.
“Guy in here yesterday gave me a blank cheque for you”
“For me”, says the surprised duck, “what’s it for?”
“It’s for doing a job,” replies the barman
“For who?”
“The circus” answers the barman.
“The circus?” asks the duck “What the hell do the circus need with a plasterer?”
