i suppose when you look up the number for hot chicks you get the audobon society.

They shouldn't get down about it . . .

Great. We just gave 16-year-olds with firearms something else to do with their cell phones while waiting for ducks to fly overhead.

Gosh, you could have knocked me down with a feather when I read this. Hunters are going to be flocking in to get one, no?

...to fund wetland habitat acquisition for the national Wildlife Refuge System.
Isn't that what the girlie hotline is doing too? Depends what you're hunting, butt it works for both groups.

Do you think that the anti-birdporn will take this up as a cause?
Posted by: emkay | September 04, 2008 at 02:06 PM
a breathy woman promising callers that they can "talk only to the girls who turn you on" for $1.99 per minute.
Ask for Daisy.

Why is is that every time a phone number gets misprinted somewhere, the incorrect number turns out to be a s*x hotline? How many of those numbers are there?

Just Ducky getting into the bird p0rn bidness?
SAY it ain't so!
*quack*

Can't imagine anyone calling the number to order more stamps. You only buy one of them a year.

Hunter: "I thought this was a *duck* stamp?"

A long time ago, I got an email from a co-worker saying that you could get a case of free beer if you dialed a toll-free number; I dialed (of course) and it turned out to be a gay sex line. Ha ha!
The only problem was, she also sent this message to our boss, her former boss, and many others (she hadn't tried the number herself). Boo hoo!
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | September 04, 2008 at 02:19 PM
it is a conspiracy --- yeah, how come the wrong phone #s are never, oh, say public libraries, or the butterball turkey hotline??? yeah. something fishy. or ducky.
Posted by: queensbee | September 04, 2008 at 02:19 PM
Queensbee--
More than once, the typo in the telephone directory or on a flyer has been for the pubic library.
Posted by: Not My Usual Alias | September 04, 2008 at 02:36 PM
Ducky got her phone number on a stamp? Cool!
Posted by: Suzy Q | September 04, 2008 at 02:37 PM
They need to get their ducks in a row.
Posted by: Braniff | September 04, 2008 at 02:39 PM
Clbuttic! We ship work overseas so it's cheap, and it comes back doodooy, but we keep it in America, where it turns out -- you guessed it -- doodooy, too! Brilliant!

Shhhhh! Be vewwwwy quiet ... I'm hunting WOOOOHOOOOO!!!
(Heheheheheheheh.....)

Hey, people, cut them some slack...at least they didn't misspell "duck".
Posted by: tonymus | September 04, 2008 at 03:26 PM
I don't wanna be a chicken, I don't wanna be a du-hold on a minute, lemme think about this...
Posted by: Daffy | September 04, 2008 at 03:46 PM
Good point, tony!
Posted by: emkay | September 04, 2008 at 03:47 PM
Hey, THIS really fits the bill!!!
Posted by: frodolives | September 04, 2008 at 08:51 PM
They couldn't use DUCK in the phone number because of the other letters that share the key with D.

"Federal Duck" would be a rather horrible name for a band.
