      <![CDATA[Wanna buy a duck? Oh wait, I know.....the ducks will go to a happy little farm that's perfect for ducks......Duck Heaven some may say.  I had some pets that went away to an unnamed farm that was always far from my house and to this day unidentifiable on any map....much like Cheney's house. <br>
<br>
Kinda fishy, these farms where our troublesome childhood pets disappeared to. 315 million citizens and no one has ever accidentally driven by the mystery farm and saw their former pet running along the fence.....no one! mag disappeared an Easter duck Ma gave to our kids years ago and I've never had the guts to ask her what she really did with that damn duck.<br>
<br>
These days......who knows......Drones might disappear the Peabody ducks....how would we know? Poof! no more duck....hmmmmm.  Will the Marriott's staff wear magic underwear? Does Romney get a cut of every room rented? Will guest's dogs be kept on the roof of the hotel?

      <![CDATA[Verla, looking at Marriott's 10-K SEC filing their expected tax rate for all of 2013 is 33.0%.  So they are not tax exempt.  The Marriott family is Mormon, but the corporation is publicly traded and not wholly owned by the Marriotts.<br>
<br>
Re the Peabody ducks- years ago we made our first and last visit to the Memphis Peabody only to find the ducks harassed to no end.  Management showed no interest in interceding so we left and never went back.

      <![CDATA[David, the ducks at The Peabody were routinely changed out every 6 months or so during normal operations.  They went to a farm but it hasn't been identified. I assume these will also go to the farm. I have had a few ducks and from a farmer's point-of-view, they are lawn ornaments, fun to watch and maybe an occasional egg, but they certainly don't earn their keep except in enjoyment.  But then again, that's why I buy sunflower seed by the 50# bags.
