If It Quacks...It Probably Lays An Egg Too

Seems like ducks struck it rich these days they have developed a taste for high end hotels to make their nests at. At least, that's what it seems to two mama ducks hatching their eggs at the Ritz-Carlton hotels at Georgetown and St. Louis.

I kid you not. These classy hotels known for attracting celebrities and VIP's have been hosting Very Important Ducks.

They're so important the chef at the Fahrenheit Restaurant in the Georgetown site has removed the duck breast entree from the menu.

And the hotel isn't missing a beat promoting its feathered guest:

Bartenders at Degrees, the hotel's bar, have created a special cocktail called the "Duck Duck Goose" with Grey Goose L'Orange vodka, pineapple juice, a splash of Grenadine and a splash of Sprite.

Hotel guests now get a small Ritz-Carlton rubber ducky at evening turn down, and the hotel has set up an "Everything's Just Ducky" package… available until April 30. …deal includes a room, Duck Duck Goose cocktails…traditional butler-drawn bubble bath with a rubber ducky.

And chocolate milk and homemade cookies for all guests.

Read the whole thing.
