Believe it or not, ducks hold meetings in the park. Surprisingly, these gatherings mirror the typical business meeting.
Here's a breakdown of what happens:
1. Lack of Attention
Each duck faces a different direction, seemingly uninterested. None focus on the duck that’s quacking, yet they all gather because they need to be aware of park happenings.
2. Lengthy Monologues
Ducks deliver prolonged "quack" sequences, lasting about half a minute?"an eternity for a creature with a five-second attention span. During these episodes, other ducks forget their thoughts, leading to unrelated quacking.
3. Simultaneous Quacking
Studies on duck interactions reveal that overlapping quacking happens because they don’t listen or care, and manners are absent.
4. No Organization
The meeting lacks structure, as there’s no agenda or objective. Consequently, ducks never know when the meeting concludes.
5. In-and-Out Attendance
Since nothing significant occurs, ducks arrive or leave at any time. Some merely stroll through, quacking briefly.
6. Absence of Leadership
With no clear goal, any duck can take charge, and sometimes the meeting initiator departs for another meeting. The rest continue quacking regardless.
7. No Documentation
In a moment of unexpected wisdom, ducks eschew minutes since nothing is accomplished.
