Since I posted that I've been out on the Internet looking for other Donald Duck jokes. It's scarcely believable but they're ALL variations of that one!

A neutron walks into a bar and asks how much would a drink cost and the bartender tells him it's on the house.

So, a duck walked into a bar, and asked the bartender, "Do you have any grapes?" The bartender replied, "No, this isn't a grocery store, get the hell out of here!" So, the duck came back the next day, and asked the bartender "Do you have any grapes?" The bartender said "No, I told you before, this isn't a grocery store, and I don't have any grapes, now leave!" So the duck came back the next day, and asked the bartender, "Do you have any grapes?" The angry bartender said, "NO! And if you come back and ask me that again, I will nail your butt to the wall! Now leave!" So, the duck came back the next day, and asked the bartender, "Do you have any nails?" The bartender, puzzled, said, "No, why?" The duck said, "In that case, do you have any grapes?"

I had been advised that a joke wouldn't go amiss. I thought it was a bad idea at the time. I see I was right.
Why is it always me that has to have an authenticating link for anything I say, but if I ask someone else to back their opinion with justifying logic underpinned with facts I'm rent limb from limb by a baying mob?

Methinks you took my comment too seriously. I was delighted that you had posted a joke and I did enjoy it.
I see no baying mob ready to any renting. Just me.

I haven't asked anyone to back their opinion with justifying logic underpinned with facts in this thread though, have I. If I were to then rent-a-mob would rush in very quickly.
Opinion based solely on gut reaction with no logic tying it to reasonable and unexceptional facts is just that, opinion. It may be of limited interest to the occasional sycophant but it has no place in any discussion. Why would anyone want to know someone's opinion? What matters is why they hold it. I'm entranced by the reason people hold certain opinions. I rarely get told what they are.

Feel free to look up Donald Duck the plumber in the Pennsylvania phone book. He exists. You might find him in Gradyville, PA. Actually, it's been awhile since I saw him but he does have a son named for him (can you imagine his wife linking that silly name to their son?).:wah:

Nobody in the thread, as far as I can see, has doubted it.

I know it's off topic of ducks and fowl of all types but I like that ^^ where's it from, it reminds me of the Just So stories (that sounded knowledgeable didn't it?) I haven't read many just glanced through them.

It's a Just So story. Rudyard Kipling does tend to have a voice all of his own.
Just So Stories, Rudyard Kipling
It has a verse at the end startingI Keep six honest serving-men:

Their names are What and Where and When
And How and Why and Who.You wonder how I got like this, do you?

I remember that verse, my primary school teacher Miss Williams (a right old battleaxe but I loved her) was a real old fashioned teacher who liked things done properly. She drummed that rhyme into our heads to improve our essay writing and questioning skills - it worked too.
Oh, and day by day it's becoming clearer exactly how you got like that!
