** Beware **
I ordered Chinese from a local place (won't name them but not in town) went to pick it up and as I was driving home, heard the bags rustling and moving!!!

I thought what on earth is that? Has something gotten into the bag? I thought I could see a little pair of eyes peering out.

I was driving so I pulled over, leaned forward, picked up the bag, put it on the passenger seat and there it was again, more rustling and little eyes looking out behind the box of pork fried rice!

I thought it's got to be a rat, or a mouse, or something, so I carefully pulled the bag open...
And there it was ...
... A Peeking Duck!!!

I’ll see myself out. And yes this was stolen.

There was a illustrated cartoon in a Playboy Magazine many years ago similar to that. I found it funny back then and it still is funny today.

Love this joke.
I have a slightly different version of it.

A couple goes to dinner their local Chinese restaurant. They decide to order the special of the day, "Chicken Surprise."
After their soup, a few minutes pass, and the waiter brings the main dish, served in a lidded cast-iron pot.

The wife deciding to serve herself first, reaches for the lid but just then, the lid rises ever so slightly.
She briefly sees two beady little eyes looking out but the lid slams back down.

"Hey, did you see that?" she asks her husband.

He hadn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises.
Again the two little eyes looking around, then slamming the lid down.
Sputtering in a fit of pique, he calls the waiter, describes what is happening, and demands an explanation!

"Please, Ssir," says the waiter, "What you order?"

The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise."

"Ah... so sorry," says the waiter, "I bring Peeking Duck."

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Some restaurant! You order dinner, but instead, you get a pet.

So, for today's laugh I offer up this tidbit by Bob Rivers

Thanks for the laugh.

My father-in-law owned an old gas station on the edge of town that was straight out of the 1930's or so. He sold bags of popcorn and other snacks and we frequently grabbed a bag to snack on while spending the day there. One day I sat down in the chair next to the box he used for a trash can. The popcorn bag that I'd eaten earlier in the day started moving around. It would sit still for a little bit and then start wiggling and rustling. I had to look at what was going on. First I got a big channel lock wrench to pickup the bag before I looked inside. Of course, a mouse was staring up at me. It then had a quick but dignified walk to the field behind the station. I don't know how quickly it may have made it back into the building.
