It’s spring. Animals are in estrus.
After a very productive IEEE meeting, we went over to a chinese restaurant to eat and socialize. I’m pretty proud that we didn’t mix any business with pleasure as we ate. Anyway, as we left the restaurant, we spotted two ducks chasing each other. They flew out of my sight. As we continued walking, we spotted the same two ducks off by the side. The mallard was starting to mount the female, after which, they started going at it very vigorously.
Wings were flapping, beaks were quacking. At the same time, the group of us just stopped in our tracks and stared. A couple of other people stopped their conversation when they saw us staring at something, and they joined in. The watching, I mean. :p At one point, the mallard even used his beak to pin the female’s head down. I started laughing at that point. Soon enough, they finished their business and went on their separate ways. Rob commented, “Oh, look at the male strutting around like he got some” or something like that. Out of nowhere, this guy getting into his car replied, “it’s all the fun, without the commitment.” That, my friends, was the punchline.
