All the ducks are swimming in the water

[venta]

In respect of yesterday's poll: hurrah, you are all sensible people. And you have confirmed my belief that one of my colleagues, who unexpectedly proclaimed "what's the difference between a chicken?" (and then insisted that "duck" was insanity), is Just Wrong.

Have you tried asking the colleague why the duck crossed the road?

[venta]

Apparently the reason it should be "what's the difference between a chicken?" is that (he says) "it's a chicken joke! Like crossing the road! They're all about chickens".

So, er, no, I haven't.

I'm going to 'fess up now. The poll you posted got me entirely confused and I seem to have been the only person on your Flist who didn't get the joke.

[venta]

I was a bit surprised that everyone typed in the answer I was expecting - suggesting they knew the joke[*] - maybe lots more people just thought "eh?" and ignored it...

[*] though I think actually "joke" is a bit of a strong word in the circs ;)

people just thought "eh?" and ignored it...

err.. yes

[satyrica]

We had it playing as one of the songs while we were signing the register at our wedding.

This lyric in the title. It's new to me, but there's a dutch nursery rhyme which goes

All the ducklings swimming in the water
Fal de ral de ra ra
Fal de ral de ra ra

Is this the same thing?
