Empty Nest

Dave: I don't know what's going on with me - I keep getting hot flashes and low grade fevers. Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna pass out. It's not good.

Me: It's probably menopause.

Dave: You think? I don't know what's going on.

Me: You're almost 50, it's probably menopause.

Dave: Man, that sucks.

Me: Yeah but it's just the next stage in your life.

Dave: I guess.

If It Quacks Like A Goose

There's a Canadian Goose couple that hangs out near our job site. They're there every day and I'm guessing they're protecting their eggs.

Dave: Hey look, the ducks are back! Hi duckies! Oh the mother is so pregnant. Look at her. She's gotta give birth any day now.

Me: *snort* Is she carrying a litter?

Dave: Looks it.

Me: So ducks get pregnant now?

Dave: Uh, uh, I know they have eggs.

Me: Do the eggs grow inside of them?

Dave: I don't know. I've never really thought about it.

Me: Obviously.
