Duck, no realy, Duck!!

In Canada it is illegal to cross state lines with a duck on your head. Yes that’s right, a duck. Yes, on your head. No, I’m not joking. How do i know this? Because just for fun some friends and I spent a day looking for the most pointless laws we could find (law students have a strange interpretation of the word fun). We also learned that in Australia it is illegal to ring a door bell before 6 am, beat a rug in the street, or fly a kite is a built up area.

But back to the duck.

The obvious question is Why? what situation could possible have arisen that prompted the authorities to create a law banning one from carrying a duck across state lines on one’s head. I really don’t know, and I’m not sure i want to know. However there are other questions, for instance, how would one get a duck to stay on ones head? Would you have to tie it down? ( in which case the law may have been created to prevent cruelty to ducks). Has the duck in question simply been to duck obedience training? or are all these question irrelevant because the duck has been plucked roasted, and lightly drizzled with apple sauce? (Mmmm roast duck).
