Quack


Of course it's a crime! "A bronze duckling named Pack has been swiped from the beloved 'Make Way for Ducklings' sculpture in Boston's Public Garden." Everyone remembers Robert McCloskey's wonderful story of the string of ducklings who travelled cross-town while traffic stopped and people watched. The theft of one of the poor guys is not funny at all. "Mayor Thomas Menino wants to get all his ducks in a row. He denounces the fowl [sic] act as a crime, not a prank." Poor Mama Duck!

I was once on L.I.'s Sunrise Highway when some guy stopped traffic to let a goose couple and their children cross.

That took guts.
