    Don't be silly Mickey, ducks can't speak! I suppose Donald can though
    Excuse me, ah Mitch I believe Mickey is correct, ducks can speak they just don't have much to say. Seriously, get drunk and try to strick (or strike, you're choice) up a conversation with one, they talk and light your smoke and bring you fries. Just don't say the word "pressed" around them.
    And I think that contraption has something to do with mapping stars, but then I talk to ducks.

    Jerry's closest so far. I can tell you that it's a typewriter, but it's a specific one. The question is: What for?

    you can't just 'strike up' a conversation with a duck, you would frighten it.

    you have to strick them. i thought a cornwall country boy would know that...

    maybe that's why you think ducks can't speak - you've been trying to strike them!

    Sorry, Ciara, but it's not for typing Braille.
