Dead Duck

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or duck:

    Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Alice: I put swimsuits in boxes six days a week.
    George: Yeah. What about Sunday? Maybe then you put yourself in a swimsuit.
    Alice: Oh, not me.
    George: Why? You don’t look good in a swimsuit?
    Alice: Sure I do. I can’t swim.
    George: You’re kidding.
    Alice: I never learned. I was even scared of the duck pond when I was a kid.
    Michael Wilson (1914–1978)
