A Duck walks into a pub and orders a schooner of beer and a ham sandwich.
The barman looks at him and says: "But you're a duck".
"I see your eyes are working," the duck replied.
"And you talk!" exclaimed the barman.
"I see your ears are working," the duck said, "Now can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
"Certainly," the barman said, "sorry about that, it's just we don't get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing round this way?"
"I'm working on the building site across the road", explains the duck. Then the duck drinks his beer, eats his sandwich and leaves.
This continues for two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town.
The ringmaster of the circus comes into the pub and the barman says to him: "you're with the circus aren't you? I know this duck that would be just brilliant in your circus, he talks, drinks beer and everything."
"Sounds marvellous," the ringmaster said, "get him to give me a call."
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "hey Mr Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money at the circus."
"The circus?" the duck questioned.
"That's right, the circus."
"That place with the big tent?" the duck asked, "with all the animals?"
"Of course," the barman said.
"With the big canvas roof with the hole in the middle," asks the duck.
"That's right," the barman said.
The duck looked confused and asked: "What the hell would they want with a plasterer?"
The barman looks at him and says: "But you're a duck".
"I see your eyes are working," the duck replied.
"And you talk!" exclaimed the barman.
