So, at the Lightning game tonight.
bleukarma and I are winding our way through the usual chaos out on the plaza - which for some ungodly reason included a brass band tonight - when a perfectly ordinary guy carrying a backpack walks up to me.
"You wanna hear a really bad joke?" he asks.
I grin. "Yes!"
He pulls something out from his backpack, tosses it to me, and says, "Duck!"
It was a yellow rubber duck. It has a top hat and a vest and a cane and a bow tie. It was in a little plastic bag that had a business card for some scuba company at the bottom of the bag.
Let me repeat this. IT WAS A RUBBER DUCK. I WAS GIVEN A RUBBER DUCK AT HOCKEY.
As soon as I caught it I about fell over myself laughing.
The guy just grinned and went on his duck-distributing way.
