Howzat?
As a student I was temping in a local family-run firm during the summer holidays. The Managing Director was a jovial chap and always seemed up for a bit of banter with his employees.

One Thursday night I'd been sat in one of the village pubs with some of my college friends when the cricket team walked in. Both the MD and my Dad had been playing and by all accounts the club had lost pretty badly, including my boss being caught out for a "Golden Duck"*. I let them drown their sorrows in a few pints of fine ale and returned to finish the evening with my friends.

It wasn't until the next day that I realised my boss had paid any attention to who I was out with. One of my pals had been wearing a studded collar and chain, not often seen by the regulars of the Bull and my boss had obviously clocked this. He must have expected me to be embarrassed when he walked passed me the following morning with a bit of a swagger and said "Woof Woof".

My retort?
"Quack quack."

That took the battery out of his milkfloat.

*A Golden Duck is where a player is dismissed for no runs on the very first ball they face. /cricketfact
