That's Why the Ducky Is a Tramp ...

Those crazy folks over there at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). They're handing out stamps with an attached phone number inviting callers to pay $1.99 per minute to "talk only to the girls who turn you on."
Nope, not a joke … just a teeny, tiny typographical error. In the U.S., all waterfowl hunters must buy and carry the Migratory Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp, otherwise known as the duck stamp. This year, FWS printed about 3.5 million duck stamps with the incorrect number.
The correct number, 1-800-STAMP24, is for people wishing to order additional duck stamps. But what is actually printed is 1-800-TRAMP24 (the number for Intimate Connections). "Honey, I swear! I was just ordering more duck stamps!"
Maybe this should be a sign to FWS and to all those folks trying to order their duck stamps. Sport hunting is cruel and unnecessary. Personally, I think the next time the FWS issues their duck stamps, in addition to including a phone sex number, they should include information on diminutive male genitalia disorder.

Yet another example of big government and taxes at work...

Can you imagine how much of a loser a person has to be to go out and shoot ducks? They are practically tame

Pointless killing is constantly pounded into our brains by TV.They don't care.It's a pure human blend of greed and stupidity.

Uh, wild ducks are not tame. They are wild. They fly away from you as soon as they know your there.

Well, it makes sence, I would suspect people who kill beautifl creatures for simple pleasure would probably need help getting a date too

If you cant stop chimps being used in labs at least give them some one to hug for God Sake.

My father works for the post office and used to be in charge of ordering the duck stamps. He would only order so many and refused to get more if he ran out. For this reason, I always bought a duck stamp, knowing that that was one less hunter permitted to shoot a wonderful, beautiful, and completely harmless bird. I am sure other post offices work the same way, so by buying duck stamps, you can stop another hunter, get a pretty picture stamp to collect (so funny how they never show the ducks bloodied and dead on the stamps, isn't it) and help in the conservation of wetlands...yes, I know that they are allowing hunters onto them, but it's still better than allowing them to be turned into stripmalls.
