Some people think ducks spend all their time floating around in ponds, quacking at the neighbors and drinking lime fizzers. This might be true on other planets, but not on Tockworld. Things are different on Tockworld, a world that sprang into existence when an alien, who was looking for a lavatory, opened the wrong door in the Grand Imperial Chinese restaurant. In case you haven't heard of Tockworld, see the extensive notes in Fluffy's Guide to Tockworld . Anyway, d ucks, being extremely clever at disguise and subterfuge, have invented decoys.
Decoys look just like ducks, but they aren t.
They re bits of wood. Their purpose is to float around in ponds all day, fooling humans, while the real ducks are off designing web pages, or running large corporations. People in the know can always tell the difference between a duck and a decoy. Real ducks don t eat quiche. If you don t believe the part about ducks running large corporations, take a look at your own workplace.
