They'll be naming James Bond films after ducks next.
By the way if Bond was on this forum he wouldn't be
able to use his OO licence to kill.

On a different tack has anyone seen a bearded golfer?

Male or female?
Reminds me of the old joke . . .
Jesus, Moses, and an old bearded man go golfing together. Moses pulled up to the tee and drove a long one. It landed in the fairway but rolled directly towards a pond. Quickly, Moses raised his club, the water parted and it rolled to the other side safe and sound.
Next, Jesus strolls up to the tee and hits a nice long one directly toward the same pond. It landed directly in the center of the pond and kind of hovered over the water. Jesus casually walked out on the pond and chipped it up onto the green.
The third guy gets up and sort of randomly whacks the ball. It heads out over the fence and into oncoming traffic on a nearby street. It bounces off a truck and hits a nearby tree.
From there it bounces onto the roof of the club house and rolls down into the gutter, down the down pipe, out onto the fairway and right toward the aforementioned pond.
On the way to the pond, it hits a little stone and bounces out over the water and onto a lily pad where it rested quietly. Suddenly, a very large frog jumped up on the lily pad and snatched the ball into his mouth. Just then, an eagle swooped down and grabbed the frog and flew away.
As they passed over the green, the frog squealed with fright and dropped the ball which bounced right into the hole for a beautiful hole-in-one.
Moses turned to Jesus and said, "I hate playing with your dad."

As a matter of interest why does Donald Duck wear a jacket
but no trousers , and why does Mickey Mouse wear trousers
with huge buttons not attached to anything?
I think the public has a right to know.......... :D.
