Offended
Mom is covering my ears to protect them from the bad, bad words of Dr. Ford. He is one of my veterinarians. He is cool… BUT today when he was talking about me he accidentally said something like “you can put the injection about one inch to the left or right of the keel, in the breast meat.”
Breast MEAT!
Mom gasped and covered my ears but it was too late. I totally heard him. She promised me he meant breast muscle but I think he owes me an apology and I’d like you to vote on it. I made a survey for you to vote right here:
Thank you for voting. I hope you voted to protect my ears from offensive words like… I can’t even say it again. Just vote please.
NOTE: This photo is a dramatic reenactment of when I was offended.

Hey Buddy, Someone said that to me once and I bit them. Just remember next time you go in, draw back your head like a cobra and STRIKE! let his meat be bruised LOL then he will respect the duck!!
When Wilbur went to the vet, he said she told Mom to give him a shot in the breast muscle.
He still got offended because he is a boy duck. Wilbur felt the doc should have said “pects”
Aw poor Flapper. Visits to the vet are traumatic as they are, but this beats the cake!
How could he??? ha ha ha, I alsways knew you were a sensitive man Flapper.
You’ll be fine after apologies and a big portion of French fries;-)
Grrr……
I’d like to smack that mamaluke vet around like he was a Stooge. Or at least hire some attack ducks to carpet bomb him. Heck, why not both.
That’s the problem with the world… people thinks ducks are POULTRY. “Meat” implies food. Ducks are NOT food. Dr. Ford should kowtow to Flapper.
And by the way, just so there are no confusions, we are Pekin Ducks, not “Peking Ducks”. “Peking Duck” is a dish invented by Chinese Cannabals — the same poeple who eat dogs. Pekin Ducks are a breed of smart, loving, cute animals.
I’m of two minds on the issue, Flap. Yes, you are due an apology and french fries immediately! At the same time, I feel that as a celebrity duck you have an obligation to set an example for the less-enlightened, and should forgive Dr. Ford for his unfortunate comment. All in all, he must be a good doc, or your mom wouldn’t allow him near you.
You need to issue a press statement for your fans, something like, “We are disappointed with Dr. Ford’s regrettable use of the term “breast meat,” and condemn the exploitation of our fellow ducks in the poultry industry. However, in the interest of community-building and french fries, we pardon him. We look forward to a long relationship with Dr. Ford and his ATM card.”
I admire your restraint, Flapper. We share the fate of female humans, don’t we? To ‘them’, we’re nothing more than a piece of…m….mmm…I can’t say it.
BAD Dr! Bad, bad, bad!

What’s “breast meat?” – Poppy and Phoenix
It’s something you bite – Trouble. -Hope aunt Anita doesnn’t see me write this.
I’m barrast – Rumor Duk
i’m telllin – Pudge
I think you need to do a background check on this so-called “Doctor” – has he been known to eat duck dinners? A fat Christmas goose? Something must be done. He needs to apologize, promise never to eat anything that has had feathers, send french fries, and provide Flapper with many good looking females. THEN, we can talk about forgiveness….. or more french fries…..
Tsk Tsk Flapper you have but one alternative SUE ! Why you will be into french fries the rest of your life. I will be your witness For shame for shame Doc
Yesssssssssssssssss…. you are most undeniably deserved an apology.
lets get him a muzzle!!!
How about a big ol’ Flapper bite in his butt meat?
I’m very sorry, Flapper.
As you know, we humans are not as highly refined in our thinking as ducks. We are only just beginning to realize how intelligent you really are (check out http://avianbrain.org/index.html). I sometimes find it necessary to bridge this gap in knowledge by drawing on common, shared experiences to help owners (obviously less enlightened ones that your mom) to visualize your superior avian anatomy. It’s taken me years to begin to understand how you work and I have to communicate that in minutes to others. I rarely use the m*** analogy but sometimes if people remember what a chicken breast looks like they can have a better understanding of where to correctly place a shot. So, please forgive me for using the m*** word in such close proximity to a discussion of your anatomy. I will be much more careful in the future.
By the way, speaking of m***, lay off those girls for a while big guy.
Mamaluke is an awesome, great word. Using it and “stooge” in the same sentence – award winning material.
I will now try to re-work Mamaluke into my cultural vocabulary.
Thanks for the culture Mr. Flapper!
(Sorry about that comment, that’s just not right. I know how sensitive you are.)
