John,
Your duck hunting story remindes me of a dog joke I heard yeas ago.
Sam was reading the want ads and came across "Trained Lab Retreivers for Sale". His faithful lab of many years had died and he called the number, and asked for a demonstration. They set it up for the weekend.
John the breeder was going on and on about one of his dogs, Fetcher, and how smart he was, but he cost $3,000. Sam said "Ok let's try him out."
So off they go duck hunting. At the first pond them come to John says Fethcer will go look and tell us how many ducks there are on this pond. Sam doesn't believe it but John sends Fetcher to look. Fetcher comes back and woofs quietly twice (woof, woof). John tells Sam that there are two ducks on the pond. So they ease up to the pond and sure enough there are two ducks there.
Sam is not convinced, so they go to another pond, sure enough Fethcher looks, comes back woofs 4 times and they find 4 ducks. Sam is now amazed but wants one more demonstration.
Off they go to another pond, John instructs Fetcher to go look, and while the dog is checking out the pond John goes into the bushes to relieve himself. While in the bushes he hears a commotion and a gun shot. When he comes back he sees that Sam has shot Fetcher, and asks why he killed the dog.
Sam says "This dog went crazy, he came back from the pond with a stick in his mouth, jumped up on my leg started shaking his head and humping my leg. I got scared and shot him".
John looks at Sam and says "You IDIOT, that dog was telling you that there were more fucking ducks on that pond than you can shake a stick at."
aside: Does anyone know where the saying "more than you can shake a stick at" come from?
