ducks!

[eub]

Wanted: Personable employee who is good with water fowl.

The Peabody, an ornate Memphis landmark, needs a new handler to lead the world-renowned, twice-a-day duck marches to and from the hotel's lobby fountain.

The ducks live on the roof and arrive at the lobby via elevator. From there, they march to the music of John Philip Sousa along a narrow red carpet to the fountain.

One mallard and four hens do daily duty from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., swimming around eating corn kernels and having their pictures taken by tourists.

Hadn't thought of "ducks and drakes". Thanks.
