Joke Suffers Horrendous Mauling at Hands of Area Drunk

Plano, TX -- A man in held in custody tonight after brutally destroying a
lighthearted anecdote. The incident occured approximately one half hour
before closing time at the "El Loco Cantina", an area restaurant and watering
hole. Barroom bouncers, in conjunction with local authorities, placed the
man in custody, after cries of "Stop, oh my God your killing it," and "Why,
dear Lord, Why?" could be heard from a nearby table.

The alleged attacker, Christopher Hawkes, started the joke at approximately
1:15am and continued to, in his words, "tell" the joke for a full quarter of
an hour before the intervention of the authorities. At which point,
according to the police, he was heard to say, for the twenty second
consecutive time, "Oh, man this is really good, so the giraffe, I think it
was a giraffe, walks into the place..." Upon arrest the man is reported to
have said, "did I mention it was a bar?" before being escorted outside.

At approximately 3am, the culprit released a statement to the press. "Shit,
no, wait, it was a duck, goddammit."
