Walks Like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck...
A man from Morgan Hill, California, was upset to come home one evening to find a "friend" sitting on his couch -- with her pet duck.
"He was not happy about the duck's poop on his rug," according to a sergeant with the sheriff's department.
Returning home, he allegedly found Melanie Ann Dellamagiore making herself at home on his couch, along with her pet duck. Investigators say she had forced open the door to his home in his absence between January 29th and January 30th. He demanded that she leave. Later, he reported that $750 worth of his camera equipment was missing.
A few days later, Dellamagiore was stopped by deputies in her car. Her duck, seated in a basket next to her, watched as she was arrested on a traffic warrant and charges of burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia, and for being under the influence of a controlled substance. The missing camera equipment was found in the vehicle. Dellamagiore's father took custody of the duck, as well as her dog.
Sorry, but there is no mug shot of the duck.

I expect the duck will be up before the beak as well. (Better explain that "beak" is good old-fashioned UK slang for judge - that's in case our friends across the pond wonder what the devil I'm talking about!) Well...that's ruined THAT spontaneous pun!

It's true. She does resemble a duck. Daffy Duck, actually, after Elmer Fudd blew off his bill with a shotgun.

Looks like Ms. Dellamagiore is a step or two closer to a stay in her local pokey. Anyone want to guess what excuses she'll come up with why she broke into a home...and whether they'll fly? ]:-) My guess is she'll earn a goose-egg. ]:-> ]:-> (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
