Duck Shooting Prank Nets Newbie £40 Pool
In Ceylon a group of sea-planters lured a greenhorn from America with a duck shoot joke. They left him with a gun on a small island and told him to shoot any duck that crossed. He pulled out a cartridge at supper, claiming he had saved them all. A pool on the shot count paid him £40 after the tally showed his guess correct.
