He said to look behind the big bush on the island in front of me.

 

[Amraann]

an island??? I love Islands! I am from the Keys.. so maybe we can relate?

 

[mcol]

And immediately we became fast friends.

 

[djezewski]

But the friendship had a turn for the worst.

 

[mcol]

Because he lied, the duck wasn't there.

 

[dedi]

perhaps he was in a different universe hiding from the purple people eater's (I mean duck hunter's)...........

 

[Amraann]

No, we all became fast friends .. we BBQ'd on the beach while the dolphins swam by

 

[mcol]

And out stepped the duck - he handed me my Zeus!

 

[Amraann]

Good duck! Then I had to tell him about toga man and bring him back but he was reluctant...

 

[mcol]

I asked him what was wrong.

 

[GrannyDee]

"It's not easy being a vaping duck", he said, "strange people follow me around, asking questions, and making other people think I am......."

 

[Amraann]

"breaking the law"... But I am not. What about the man in the Toga I asked?

 

[djezewski]

I am still a bit weary about him he replied.

As we sat there, the mallard and I, we discussed our backgrounds and I summed mine up thusly: I have lived here in Missouri, near the foothills of the Ozarks, my whole life. I work for the local SPCA as an animal control officer and do most of my work from my Ford F150 camper top truck. As the duck was finishing up his summary life, I realized that ducks do not talk or vape. "I must be suffering from heat exhaustion," I muttered. At which time I left the duck at his home and headed out to the Urgent Care facility to get an IV of fluids. "I must also be suffering from nic poisoning from hypervaping my Provari VV because it is my preferred device," I exclaimed to myself as I pulled into the parking lot of the Urgent Care.

 

[Amraann]

To discover they were not open.

A short time later I was on the road to Branson for some much needed r & r when I pulled out my Provari and it
didn't work again - so I reached in the glove box for my always faithful V4L Zeus, and life got so much better.

 

[Amraann]

When I got to Branson I checked into a nice B&B.

 

[l_strider_l]

Feeling faint from the heat exhaustion and extensive dehydration, I asked the owner of the B&B if they could call a doctor. Just as I answered my phone with my boss on the other end saying, "Where are you! You're supposed to be at work, it's Wednesday for christ sake!" I passed out and hit the floor with a thud.

 

[mcol]

Oh no, what to do now I asked myself.

 

[Beachlover]

Realizing that there was only one way to save my job and prove my sanity was to get that blasted vaping duck and prove to everyone that this duck really does vape. The hunt is on again...where did that darn duck go now....
