All along the the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!

Ducks' tails, drakes' tails,
Yellow feet a-quiver,
Yellow bills all out of sight
Busy in the river!
- Kenneth Grahame, 'Duck's Ditty'.

Or my favorite: A man, a lawyer, a redneck, a nun, a blonde, a dog, and a priest walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Is this some kind of joke?"

Ah, my favorite variant of that is "A nun, a priest, and a Druid walk into a bar. You'd think one of them would've seen it."

Three men walked into a bar, the fourth one ducked.

Cricket jargon - a score of 0 for an individual batsman. Originates from expression "to make a duck's egg". Embarrassing.
