What worths a duck
There was once a virgin farmboy.
One day, a farmer had told his virgin son that the time had come for him to "become a man". The father suggested that since they were poor and cash was not easy to come by at their farm that he should instead take one of their ducks and use it for payment at the town's brothel.
The son doubted it would work but was willing to take a chance. The next morning, bright and early, he set out with the duck on a leash for the long walk to town.
When he came to the brothel, the madam took a look at the boy and asked him his business.
"My father has told me that it's time for me to 'become a man' and he said that while I don't have any money to pay you with, that perhaps, you'd be willing to take this... uh... duck."
The madame who saw that the boy was truly a virgin as well as a good looking young man thought, "What the hell?" However, not to let him think he can take advantage of her good graces in the future she asked, "Is it a good duck? Can he do anything special?"
Before the boy could say, "no", the duck leaped up on the table and started to do a little dance and quacked in time with his feet. The madame thought at this point she might have gotten the better end of the deal. So she took the duck and told the boy to go upstairs where one of her younger and prettier girls would take care of him.
After an hour of making love to the young girl, the madam realized that this young man was some kind of prodigy with the energy of 10 farmboys. So, she went upstairs and said to the the farmboy (no longer a virgin), "Hey, you must be pretty good for a newbie. I'll tell you what, if you make it with me, I'll give you back your duck."
The boy being no fool and still loving his first experience with the young girl figured he might be able to use his talented duck in the future and agreed to make love to the madame. So after another hour, this time with the madame, the boy finished up and left the brothel exhausted.
He put the leash on the duck and started his long walk back to the farm. On his way back to the farm a drunk driver swerved too close to the boy and clipped the duck. As a result, the duck's legs were completely broken. The driver felt horribly guilty about this and offered the boy fifty dollars in restitution for the duck plus he said he'd drive him back to the farm.
The boy took the money and the ride and arrived back at the farm.
Upon arriving his father met him at the door eager to hear how his day went.
The boy said, "Well, I got a f#$%k for a duck, a duck for a f#$%k, and fifty bucks for a f#$%ked up duck."
