Forget it GR. When you have to explain it the joke is lost.

Usually I hate it when jokes have to be explained, but this time it's appreciated. I thought the word "beak" sufficed, didn't know there was also "bill" .

No, you just need to know the language very well, but not be a native speaker. I understood it right away, thought it was incredibly lame and continued to scratch my left nut.

Forget it Jim. Just ask for the thread to be locked. All is lost here. Bill, beak, whatever. Hell, next they will be telling us it is not breeding season for the common cartoon character duck.

I'll try to save it with a little something from Franky Boyle:

Watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy made me think that if I got gay friends they would give me fashion tips and help me shop, but actualy they *******ed me.

Why would a duck want to take anything from a box under the hotel lobby counter is beyond any reasonable understanding to me ...

Plus why would a duck want to **ck Daisy?

She must of done it so many times her tail feathers are missing

I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry that english isnt my native language. Instead, I speak a language where one word does not mean 12 different things.
