DUCK-BILL n.
According to the sign and the camera above the cash register in the restaurant where I dined last night, ducking bills seems to be such a popular local past time that cameras and parkinglot attendants have been brought in as prevention measures.

Nessa's comment made me chuckle.

Duck-Bill: There's a Russian gymnast who looks a lot like a duck. She is a pretty lady, but she really looks like a duck. During the 2004 summer Olympics, Taylor made the astute observation that she looked like a duck. She also resembles an ostrich. Luckily, she is a lovely lady... quack, quack!!!

When the rim of your hat quacks you probably have a duck-bill.

I'm sure I had one of those once, though they say it was my fever talking.

It's not my hint, Jim. All the more reason to take it.

See how much there is to learn on blogs, A-bell?

Ha, Mule. Right.

Cooper, it's usually your fever talking, n'est-ce pas?

Right, Ariel.
