A lady walked into a Bronx butcher store and asked for a Long Island duckling. The new butcher produced a duckling from the case and begun to wrap it, when the lady said, "Let me see that for a minute." Grabbing the duck by the legs and spreading them, she sniffed the bird and announced, "This is no Long Island duckling. This is a Rhode Island duckling." The butcher produced another one, and she did the same thing. "This one," she said, "is from Connecticut! I want a Long Island duckling!" Finally, after doing the same thing with six ducklings, she said triumphantly, "Now THIS is a Long Island duckling!" As the young butcher was wrapping the bird, she said, "I'll tell you, young butchers nowadays know nothing. Where are you from anyway?" "Here lady," he said, spreading his legs. "Why don't YOU tell ME!"
