After volunteering for the U. S. Navy during Viet Nam, my first order was to show up at Great Lakes Naval Base for basic training. As soon as I learned the career sailor's ranks and not to salute fire plugs, it wasn't long before the enlisted men called "squids" took me off base into Waukegan, Illinois to teach me what a Wing-Man" was. I never forgot that lesson and while taking pictures of the Mallards at Botanica Gardens, saw an older "Wing-Man" encouraging his younger brother as they gazed longingly at a beautiful female Mallard. I listened carefully, trying to hear what they were quacking. Does this sound about right?

Sounds about right.

Translation: "Did you hear about the truck carrying ducks crashing with that milk truck? Nothing but milk and quackers!"

Dear Stephan G...No, I hadn't heard about that. But I did hear about the truck carrying chickens crashing into a Highway Patrolman's vehicle. The driver of the truck told the Patrolman, "I was just trying to help the chickens get to the other side of the road!"

When I tried that in 1963, going from GLakes to Waukegan on my only off-base liberty, it did not work all that well.

Sorry, that evoked an old one.

Why did the chicken cross the road, turned around and crossed the road back, continuing to go back and forth?

The chicken has OCD.

Moans and groans allowed.
