A duck walks into a bar.
He hops on to the bar stool and says to the bartender
“I'll have a beer please"
The bartender looks at him in shock.
“But you’re a duck how are you tal..”
The duck stops him.
“Yeah yeah I get it all the time. I'm a bricklayer and there's a new housing complex being built not too far away from here and to be honest I’ve had a hard day I'd just like a couple of beers in peace please.”
Bartender pours his beer and doesn’t ask anything more.
The duck comes in every night after work for his two beers and then goes home.
On the Saturday a Ringmaster of a circus comes into the bar and asks the bartender if he can hang his posters in his window to advertise his show.
The bartender sees an opportunity and explains to the ringmaster he has the perfect act for him. A talking Duck!!
The ringmaster couldn’t pass up an opportunity like this... he’d makes thousands.
The bartender asks to share the money he would make for getting the ringmaster his star attraction. The ringmaster agrees and they shake on it.
The following Monday the duck comes back in after his shift at work.
“I've got a job for you.” he says.
“Oh yeah what's that?” Asks the duck
“A circus!” The bartender replies excitedly
The duck looks at the bartender in confusion and asks:
“A circus with clowns?”
“Yeah” says the bartender.
“With the big tent?”
“Yeah” says the barman.
“Move from town to town? With performing animals?”
“Yeah yeah exactly!” Says the bartender.
The duck looks up at him and says
“What the fuck do they want a bricklayer for?!”

Good evening, Niagara.
Howard? Remember that lame movie from the 1980s?
But the duck's parents were sadists, and they named him "Doodles".
That's why he drank.
