Animal Animosity

Once there was a duck who was out about the town. She decided to walk into a bar, at which point a crafty bear saw an opening for a joke.

"DUCK" yelled he, at which point she turned and enquired why he would yell such a thing. "You were about to walk into a bar!" said the guffawing bear.

"Hmmph. I would have preferred more quality," harrumphed she.

At which point a koala rose and demanded why she was drinking tea made of his relatives.

"You insult people with most efficiency." said the bear, enjoying the havoc he had created.

"Fish-in-sea? Why not fish-on-land? Or indeed fish-in-space! We needn't decide the fate of others based on species," interjected a fish, having heard no context.

At this point, bear, fish, koala and duck were facing each other with remarkable aggravation. Eventually the duck sighed and said "This is simply unbearable. Let's have a round of drinks," leaving all parties satisfied except the bear, who wondered why he should be deemed un-able to enjoy this somewhat pleasing solution to their tiff.
