“Duck!”
You typically say this to a friend for a number of reasons. Either there’s something flying toward their head, or they’re too tall for what they’re about to walk under. Typically, you’re not actually around a bunch of ducks.
That’s the problem. Those two-way words can get you into trouble. For those of you who remember George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on television, he covered those two-way words. You may be wise to explore those yourself.
“Duck” isn’t just about ducking to get out of the way. It’s also a bird that can be quite vicious when it wants to be.
Ducks don’t follow directions. They prefer to wing it. That means that you have to always be on the lookout for them. Otherwise, they’ll attack.
“My idea of fast food is a mallard.” – Ted Nugent
It’s best to have a wingman when you’re going to be around ducks. I had to learn this the hard way, though. Don’t use the word “duck” when you have to warn a friend. Otherwise, it just becomes some comic relief where you keep yelling it, they keep crouching down, and then the duck just goes to town on your friend. Have a different word on the ready. Trust me.
What Do You Call a Clever Duck?
If you’ve ever been duck hunting, you know that ducks can be clever. They’re capable of relational learning and abstract thinking.
Oh, right…you want the punchline. Allow me to restart.
What do you call a clever duck? A wise quacker.
You’re so welcome for that.
Now, if you’ve gone out with friends to bag a few ducks, you know that it’s not as easy as blowing into your duck whistle and pulling the trigger. It requires a lot more finesse than that.
You have to do your research and know what you’re doing. You’ll want to scout out your hunting areas. You’ll want to have a retriever dog. And you’ll most certainly want some camo so that you can become one with nature.
Be sure you’re hunting with purpose. The ducks should be processed and eaten. Stop killing ducks to make duck tape.
If You’re Too Busy to Hunt, You’re Too Busy
There’s always a way to know whether you’re too busy with your life. Take a look at your calendar. Do you have time to go duck hunting in Sherman Country? If the answer is yes, you’re doing something right. If the answer is no, you’re entirely too busy, which means you have to give something up.
There’s a saying that I personally love. Give a man a duck, and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man to duck hunt, and he will go broke and starve.
Two mallards walk into a bar, the third one ducks.
For those of you who have truly embraced duck hunting, you know what I mean. And I’m not talking about the Nintendo game where that damn dog laughs at you at the end. I get enough dirty looks from my Lab, who is sitting at my feet as I write this. I don’t need it from some animated dog, too.
You spend the money on duck hunting, though, because you love it. You know that buying the best of everything will make the process more exciting. And because you want to rely on the equipment when you’re out in the field.
The same can be true about anything, really.
When you decide you want to build a custom garage on your property, you’re not going to get whatever’s on sale at the local construction store. You’re not going to get some online special. You’re going to do your research and get the very best so that you can rely on the construction and materials.
Your research will point you to Sherman, so let us go ahead and say that we can build you a garage, a pole barn, a she shed, or any other structure you may want. Whether you use it to hang your duck carcasses, park your cars, or store your snowmobiles, it should be a structure that you can rely on to brave the weather.
We’ve got you covered. Literally.
Don’t Visit a Quack
Honestly, there are plenty of quacks out there, and we’re not talking about ducks. We’re talking about the people who make false claims in order to dupe you.
We see them most often within the medical field. They’re the ones who claim they can heal you of all sorts of health problems. And they have the weirdest looking devices. They use machines that look a whole lot like irons and wands – and they probably are just that. But they give them fancy names so that you think that they’re different. And you hand over your money expecting a miracle. Instead, all you have is a strange encounter that you can entertain your friends with.
Be careful of quacks in any industry, including steel buildings.
Everyone wishes they could have quality erections like us. However, there are quacks who claim they have the best buildings. Well, they’re wrong. And if you give us a few minutes of your time one day, we’ll prove it to you.
This Fits the Bill
“The No. 1 rule in duck hunting is to go where the ducks are.” – Jase Robertson
This is solid advice. Want to know what else is solid? When you want a pole barn, go where the best erections are. Yep, that’s what she shed. It’s what we say, too.
You don’t want to go just anywhere for a steel building. You want to go where you’ll get a customized build. At Sherman, we have over 40 years of expert craftsmanship under our belt. It’s why you’ll find our buildings all over Sherman Country.
When you’re ready to discuss your building needs, call us. We’ll look forward to talking to you about the details. And if you’re on the taller side, trust us when we yell “duck.” We want you to enter our building without clocking your head; it’s not a warning that there are mallards underfoot.
