Hey, You Sick Gazer! No Pekin

...at the duck's package, okay?

Dr. Brennan was oblivious to bird phalluses until 1999.

I would prefer to still be.

When she first visited in January, the phalluses were the size of rice grains. Now many of them are growing rapidly.

I'm sure Ken will want her to stop by.

Why? Dr. Brennan is checking out birds, not goats.

Especially since she "visits the sanctuary every two weeks". No fair weather fondler there, by George!

I'm surprised Dick the Duck hasn't proposed.

"Hung like a duck" is apparently a compliment in some professions.

Does Aflac cover this sort of thing?
