Be vewy vewy quiet.

So it was an unsolicited duck pic?

Stripe duck flying upside down?

Duck Season!

They didn’t duck in time.

Was it Donald Duck? 'Cause that might kinda cheer 'em up. Maybe it could say "You're fired" in the Donald Duck voice?

Was it a Federal Duck?


If the memo had left off the word off, they’d be lucky ducks.

Unsolicited duck pic or geoduck?

So " Duck you " ? that's cold.

I highly recommend this bit on ducks from comedian James Veitch
Epic roommate prank

Whya no chicken?

It's more sensitive than if they had sent a cartoon of Bill the Cat saying "Phppt!" as a Bronx cheer.

As recommended by leading human resources periodical articles and conference presentations. Adds a whimsical touch to an admittedly difficult message.

So maybe the person works for a bunch of quacks.
