She prepares the folks to meet her boyfriend. “FYI, he has circuitry tattoos on his forearms.”
Mum asks, “What’s a circuit tree?”
"Don’t worry about that,” Dad says. “I want to know why he’s got four arms.”

A man visits an old friend. Suddenly a little girl runs across the room.
"Diploma," says the friend, "bring us two cups of coffee."
"Where did she get her name from?" the astonished visitor asks.
The friend sighs:
"I sent my daughter to university and that's what she came back with."

Extraordinary events in Chicago, Illinois a couple of days back. The Windy City. They held an annual Charity event for disabled athletes.
The Ducky Derby. Idea was you bought a plastic bathroom duck for a mere $5. Or 6 for $25. A DuckPack!
A truck dumped 75,000 plastic ducks in the River Columbus. Then maybe your duck drifted down the river and came first. In which case you won a car.

All ducks were collected at the end of the race for re-use next year. Or you could buy one as a souvenir, thus swelling the Charity coffers.
I thought that was brilliant. $300,000 raised for good causes. 😀

Yes, quite. They actually been around for decades and in many countries. Like you, I think they're a great way to fundraise. Not only that, they attract the crowds. Even those who don't have a vested interest.I thought that was brilliant.
Soundbrigade,
Have you not been Woke trained???
I know of several lessons in most large US cities.

They used to do this in Honolulu's Ala Wai canal when I lived there many years ago. The Ala Wai Canal is probably the most polluted body of water in the United States. It is loaded with bacteria from leaking or illegal sewer lines and it only seems to get worse over the years.
I do have a bigger duck:a slightly larger tub.
We also get ducks in the bat-pond out front.
Woke trained??? I just woke up, so yeah, I am trained to woke up every morning.Soundbrigade,

Hi SB,
Are you headed for KnobCon by chance? (I'm still trying tp decide.)
knobcon.com
HobNob??!! Sure, sounds great! I always tend to miss all great opportunities for ... great opportunities, so I feel I SHOULD GO! Bringing a camera to record everything and share with my synth-friends in Sweden.
Arrive in 7/9 btw, so maybe the 10th or 11th would be the best days for me to visit.

A few years ago a pair of "rubber-less duckies" took a liking to our pool for the summer months and returned the next year, in spite of being chased off by the dog several times. Not sure why since there's nothing on the menu.We also get ducks in the bat-pond out front.

The dog is a slow swimmer, and there's no close cover, so they can see the hawk(buzzard,etc) coming.A few years ago a pair of "rubber-less duckies" took a liking to our pool for the summer months and returned the next year, in spite of being chased off by the dog several times.

A safe resting spot(also a free delousing bath with the chlorine).
