Blanca Gets Ducked



I've always looked out for her virtue, but I went into a shopping mall Barnes & Noble, and when I came out, Blanca, my refrigerator-white Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (that's the 4-door version) had lost her virtue. She had been ducked. The evidence was right on the driver's door handle.

We got our first Wrangler in 1997. (M. is still driving it.) Never got ducked until now. But it's a thing -- I had been seeing Wrangler Unlimiteds in particular with their dashboards covered in cartoony little ducks

Apparently an Instagrammer started the fad in 2020, if you believe what you read on the internet.

Where do they come from? Some factory in China must churn them out. Does the Uighur slave-worker painting their bills wonder where they will go and what they are for?

There are rules, for duck's sake.  

This Jeep was also parked near the B&N. Could be the culprit. 
Clearly its owner is part of the #DuckDuckJeep cult.

The duckies have adhesive bottoms, but it is hard to visualize bouncing in low-range down a rocky two-track and not launching toy ducks all over the passenger compartment.
