I think your two funniest lines were "Wilford was raped without lubrication by Christianity." and "He's proselytizing at full speed!"

I also love how Wilford tells the whole crazy Jesus story and then says "I've presented my case." No you haven't, dickwad. What kind of lawyer are you? You don't "present a case" by walking into a courtroom and telling the jury everything you think they should hear! You need witnesses! You know what those are, don't you Wilford? People who can attest that your story isn't just a load of horseshit?

amberkatt: Thanks. I had a feeling it was probably slang at some point, but it seems kind of odd in this day and age.

The phrase "dead duck" is slang. It originally meant a failure, but was also used as a so-called "creative" way to say dead, to give it some emphasis. We used to use it as kids, but I haven't heard it used in decades... it's definitely in the "trite" category.

From what I can find, the phrase originated back in the early 1800's, and was part of a saying: "never waste powder on a dead duck." Sounds similar to "don't beat a dead horse" and other such animal-related aphorisms.

"Now Death asks if you've ever told a lie."

Fraid not, but I have disobeyed my parents and been involoved in a little coveting lately...
