ONE OF A FLOCK
Two friends went duck shoot-
ing one cold morning. One took
along a thermos bottle full of
coffee while the other had a
bottle of something stronger.
Both imbibed freely of their
chosen beverages. Finally a
lone duck appeared overhead.
The coffee drinker raised his
gun first, took aim and fired.
The duck kept on going. His
friend then pointed his gun at
the duck and brought it down
with the first shot.
"That's pretty good shoot-
ing," said the coffee drinker.
"Nothin' to it," shrugged the
other. "When a flock like that
comes over, you're bound to
hit one of them."
