5,000 Ducks Cross the Road in China and It’s No Joke




What do you get when 5,000 ducks cross the road?

In China, not the end of a joke but a real-life quack of a traffic jam.

Traffic in the Chinese city of Taizhou, nearly 200 miles from Shanghai, was brought to a halt by a farmer who decided his flock of ducks needed a break in a nearby pond.

The catch? The farmer had 5,000 ducks and only a single cane to guide his waddling friends the nearly one-mile walk from their home to the water.

All cars and pedestrians came to a halt to avoid an accident and take in the spectacle, which happens quite often, according to the U.K.’s The Sun.

Nonetheless, the farmer proudly reports he hasn’t lost a duck yet.

How about some peanut butter to go with that "quackers and jam"?

Can you imagine the mess they made? Then people had to drive and walk through that! I've had ducks and they are very messy....

at the cute jokes.

I wonder how many of those, who have to wait for the ducks to cross, would miss this pilgrimage since it happens so often?

Where I lived in FL we had a small stormwater pond in town, and next to it was a Veteran's Memorial, and this pond was home to about 20 Mallards, which everyone fed. Quite often we had to wait as they would go across the road from the nearby canal to the pond, or in the other direction. Eventually the flock doubled in size and someone decided the mallards had become a nuisance and had to be relocated. I actually missed watching them cross the road once they were gone....
