Duck Work

A duck walks into a bar and asks for a beer. In amazement, the bartender exclames, "HEY. you can talk!"

"Yes, I do. So what?" asks the duck as he flies up to the stool.

The bartender asks what else the duck does.

"I work across the street doing construction on the new building going up, and I’d like to come here during lunch to have a beer once in a while."

The bartender says that it would be fine with him, so the duck comes in day after day during lunch for a brew.

Then one day the circus comes to town and the ringmaster comes into the same bar, but he’s there earlier than the duck’s usual time.

The bartender finds out this guy is the ringmaster of a big circus and says: "Hey, you ought to check out this talking duck that comes in for a beer everyday around lunchtime!"

"Really?" Asks the Ringmaster. "I could sure use one of those. Tell the duck that if he wants to make a lot more money than he makes now, to come by and see me." Then, after drinking his beer, the ringmaster leaves the bar and heads back to work.

So the duck comes in to the bar that day at lunch, and the bartender jumps up and tells the duck the good news.

"Hey, the circus is in town and their ringmaster wants you to be part of their circus for MORE BUCKS than you’re getting now!!"

The duck says, "Wow, that’s great! But is it that big event down at the fairgrounds with the high-top deal?"

Bartender says "Yeah, so what?"

The duck cocks his head and inquires further, "It’s that event with the CANVAS tent, right?

Bartender asks, "Yeah, so?"

"Well, what the heck does he want with a drywall worker?"
