#replaceawordinafamousquotewithduck

There is a hashtag going around on Twitter. It is "replace a word in a famous quote with duck".

Here are a few good ones I found.

Some pretty sound "duck" advice:

"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a duck."
I am a duck! *pretends to be wise* lol

"Keep your friends close and your duck closer."
Saw this one a few times...I guess it fits with what some other people wrote: "Ducks are a man's best friend."

"Let he who is without sin throw the first duck."

"Ask not what your duck can do for you - ask what you can do for your duck."
Very popular, this one. I think I saw it more than 10 times.

"I Only Have Two Things In This World My Word And My Ducks And I Don't Break Either For Anyone #Scarface"
I don't know Scarface...but I like this phrase. Though why the person needed to put all those capitals in, I do not know... -_- So let's have it without those annoying capitals (and with some punctuation):
"I only have two things in this world: my word and my ducks. And I don't break either for anyone."
Great principle, huh? Let's all take a stand against duck abuse! (now that sounds good...an inadvertent pun for drug abuse :P )

There are quotes that made me wonder what the original word was:

"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding ducks than holding hands?"
This made me search for the original phrase; turns out that "ducks" is replacing "guns" here. I knew I'd heard it before...

"Be nice to ducks on your way up because you meet them on your way down."
And here "ducks" replace "people"; I've also heard this one before, but it's rather lame, especially with ducks...

"I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send you a duck."
Now for this one I didn't have to search...I know that it was a toilet seat! :P (took a little thinking to recall that, though)

"A woman's greatest asset is her duck." - Alex Comfort
I should get one! (but actually it was beauty. Ceh. :P )

Then there's this one, that conjured up for me an image of ducks on a hillside.
"The hills are alive with the sound of duck." *quack ♪ quack ♫ quack ♪*

There are also those from Star Wars fans:

The most popular one seems to be "May the duck be with you." But what about "May duck force be with you"? :P I think I prefer the latter...though it might not be so easily recognisable as a quote from Star Wars (and it's only from me...no one else seems to like duck force :P ).

And this one is not bad either...imagine a war between ducks and...whatever else :P
"You don't know the POWER of the Duck Side." -Duck Vader.
Haha, I like that the person put "Duck Vader"!

So...do you think you can come up with some good ones? I can't...I admit it! lol
