"TV Duck"
Episode 1 "Just Another Day"
TV Duck watches too much TV. He's trying to cut down on fast
food and
primetime reruns.
One day he was up on the 45th floor of Quack Towers visiting
his broker to
leverage his accounts. TV Duck was standing on his brokers
desk oblivious
to all the office staff trying to get him to sit in a chair.
He walks off the desk
and continues to travel in thin air across the office above
the floor and then
thru the big plate glass window. TV Duck was preoccupied
checking his
portfolio as he walked thru the window out over the city
streets, and he kept
going hundreds of feet above the street oblivious to the
ground below.
Somewhere above the boulevard below he notices one of his
mutual funds
has dropped in value and he became concerned.
Suddenly he comes out of his fog of preoccupation and noticed
he was
walking across the street up in thin air. He panics and starts
to fall. He drops
out of the sky and plunges down toward the traffic below. TV
Duck is really
annoyed at falling out of the air. He pulls out his cell phone
and calls 911.
He complains he's falling out of the air and what are they
going to do about it.
The 911 operator tells the duck that the GPS is tracking him
and since he is
a duck he should start flying. TV Duck argues with the
emergency operator
that he is a duck of means and importance and they had better
do something.
As he falls he notices the ground closing in on him. Still he
argues with the
911 operator. Please Mr. Duck the GPS says you should start
flying. TV Duck
notices he is on a collision course with a commuter bus. Still
he continues to
argue as he falls closer and closer to the bus. Finally as he
closes in on the
bus he starts flapping his wings and barely clears the roof of
the bus.
Fantasy Insurance, because you can't always stop when you want
to.
