What did the duck say when it bought lipstick?

"Put it on my bill"

Did You Know?

The joke plays on "bill," which means both a duck's beak and the tab you run up at a store. A duck's bill is far more than a lipstick canvas: it's packed with sensitive touch receptors that help ducks find food in muddy water, and the comb-like ridges along the edges, called lamellae, let them strain out tiny snacks. Lipstick has a long history of its own, with people in ancient Mesopotamia crushing colorful gemstones to tint their lips around 5,000 years ago.
