Button up that bill!
Though the trademark chorus of quacks from tourists aboard Boston's amphibious duck boats can be heard all over town, Newbury Street is designated a "No Quack Zone."
To some of the merchants and residents of the tony shopping zone, quacking detracts from the air of exclusivity they prefer.
The ban has been difficult to enforce, though. "They love to quack."

Hey Dingus...
I read about the Stone Reader awhile ago...thanks for reminding me. I'll check into it.
We have "Duck" tours in a town near where I live, they are great fun. A couple years ago one sank and I thought it was going to sink the whole business because several people drowned because the suction created by a vehical that large going down was so great coupled with the fact that people got tangled in the canope and ropes. Now however the ducks have grown to almost their original popularity.
