Cold Duck Feels Like Dregs, Has Sparkle Of Life

First zombie chickens, now a reanimated Tallahassee duck:

The duck would not die.

Wildlife officials said the feathered Lazarus had been shot by a hunter and put into his refrigerator for two days. That's when the hunter's wife opened the door and the duck lifted his head, giving her a scare.

The man's wife "was going to check on the refrigerator because it hadn't been working right and when she opened the door, it looked up at her," said Laina Whipple, a receptionist at Killearn Animal Hospital.

"She freaked out and told the daughter to take it to the hospital right then and there."

Is the duck out of the woods? Yes. But it also has a 75% chance of survival.

And that's why I only use "Blammo Ammo", now on sale at http://www.firequest.com/catalog/flamethrowermoreinfo.html

Actually, I don't know about ducks but I've been tempted to use it on monkeys.

I'd be pissed.

1) Remington 'Brushmaster' .12 ga. $1700.00

2) average Duck hunting trip costs, including beer $20,000.00 (truck,boat,camo, etc)

3) Wife that 'heals' the meal, before it's cooked..priceless

Poor duck. Poor lady. One of my mom and dad's first Thanksgivings together my dad got a live turkey and wrung its neck. My mom made him bury it in the back yard and went to the store and bought one ready to cook.

I smell another Oprah exclusive.

Donnah, that's funny you say that. I was thinking today about Oprah and sensationl stories. The public does love hearing about them.
I was riveted to a program the other day about a guy who got an anchor stuck in his head.
And it works the same way...one might say, "I thought my life was a piece of shit, but then I saw the guy on your show with an anchor in his head" See what I mean? Ratings, high interest, and a meaningful message.

and, the only embarrassing question might be,....
"How much drinking was being done that day ?"

I think Oprah should get the crackhead gatorbait guy to be on her injured list. That and Troy Smith.
