Someone threw a rubber duck at me on the way home from my first oil change. (Pay no attention to the MPG report in the background...)

[R.A.N.M.J.]

Was heading down Lemon Ave. in Dallas and passed by a Jeep. Turned down Washington Ave. towards Gaston and noticed him start tailing me.

He pulls up along side me in the turn lane and throws a rubber duck into my Bronco. Says, "You've been ducked!" Does a U-turn and goes off on his merry way.

My wife thought it was cute. She's the one taking the pictures. I thought this was a Jeep thing and my license plate literally says "BRONCO"...

Is it wrong that I was mildly annoyed elated annoyed by it?



All in the spirit of togetherness, I guess. So, I went out and joined a Jeep club the next day...

Throw it back

I see it as an act of good will from a Jeeper. Welcome to the club kind of thing. Duck thing may be annoying. But far less annoying than the hate and vile some spew.

This is exactly why I keep saying you should have pineapple pizza in your bronco at all times. It should smell like a pizzaria from the 80s that’s never been cleaned, or you are doing it wrong and don’t have adequate amounts of ammunition at the ready.

Take is as a nice gesture. I was ducked a few years ago and I have it in my office. No harm no foul.

Foul or Fowl... Hmmm.

I mean, it is a Thor duck. Mjölnir could do some serious damage.

I'm pretty sure that constitutes road rage. you should have defended yourself!

 

[Smashquatch]

Did it hit you? Or did you duck?
Sorry couldn’t help it

Someone in our town has been taping $20 bills to the back of the "you've been ducked" paper that goes out to the jeeps. If that's the case, I'm all about getting ducked in my Bronco!!

Exactly. I'd much rather encounter somebody who wants to include you in a community in a fun way, as opposed to so many others that just want to be a dick.
