Yes, I vaguely remember that during my oral report in biology class on the topic of ducks, the subjects of duck mating was a necessary part of the process, needless to say. Oh, I'm sorry, did I forget to use the F- word? And did that somehow feel like a needle to F-bomb idiot Tom?
And then there was the part about how the father takes over the laying on the eggs, and when they are born the little ducklings are imprinted upon him, of which the topic of imprinting is another important component of the story about ducks.
