ECHUCA – Inventor Gerald Fisk has proudly unveiled the world’s first self-piloting paddlesteamer, boasting a revolutionary design. However, residents quickly dismissed the marvel, dubbing it “just a really lazy duck.”
Despite Fisk’s claims of cutting-edge technology and autonomous navigation, eyewitnesses noted the vessel’s uncanny resemblance to a nonchalant mallard drifting aimlessly. Critics argue that the self-piloting paddlesteamer’s primary skill lies in expertly avoiding any real effort, much like its feathered counterpart.
Fisk remains undeterred, insisting that his creation marks a new era in aquatic transportation. Meanwhile, the local duck population appears unimpressed, waddling away with a collective eye roll as the self-piloting paddlesteamer lazily putters past on the Murray.
More to come.
