Crime Scene

So when I got to work this morning and looked up in the rafters, this is what I saw:

If you said, “Looks normal to me” you’d be DEAD WRONG.

There should be a DUCK up there. When I left Friday the duck was in the rafters and the world was at 102 points (to duck’s 65 points). Looking down from the rafters revealed a duck lying on the floor. I immediately set up a crime scene:

Tiffany (who is the duck’s owner) is on the Duck’s team and admits to being the last one to leave on Friday, and to being in all alone on Sunday. She claims the duck was on the floor Sunday when she got here. She claims the storms shook him down.

Personally I believe her. But I think that we should get to put the duck back up for free. The duck team says that the duck was not properly placed, and therefor it should count as coming down since it has been hit by a ball legally since we placed it, and that it should count as a ball hit it down.

I think that is BS because the duck can’t “accidentally” fall up, but it can fall down. I proposed that if the duck came down within five minutes of being hit, it counts as a legal downing of the duck, and that if it stays up for five minutes after being placed in the rafters, it counts as a legal placing of the duck. Any falls outside of this five minute window result in the duck being re-placed for free, and no points awarded.

Ryan refuses to agree to this claiming that if it were to fall in the middle of the day in view of everyone it would count as a mis-placement, or a late fall as the result of a ball hit. However, since no one witnessed it’s descent we will never truly know what happened. He says we put the duck back up, or he quits the game for good (which is poor sportsmanship in my opinion, but whatever. He will be missed).

Further updates will be forth-coming…
