Old Duck
-------------------------

A man took his old duck to the Doctor, concerned because the
duck  wouldn't eat.

The Doctor explained to the man that as ducks age their   
upper  bills grow down over their lower bills and make it   
difficult for  the animal to pick up it's food.


"What you need to do is gently file the upper bill down even
with  the lower bill. But you must be extra careful because
the duck's  nostrils are located in the upper bill and if   
you file down too  far, when the duck takes a drink of water
it'll drown."


The man goes about his business and about a week later the   
Doctor  runs into his patient.


"Well, how is that duck of yours?" the Doctor inquires.


"He's dead." declared the heartbroken man.


"I told you not to file his upper bill down too far! He took
a  drink of water and drowned didn't he?" insisted the   
Doctor.


"No." lamented the man. "I think he was dead before I took   
him  out of the vise."
