FORT MYERS, Fla., March 3 (UPI) -- A Florida man said his work day was interrupted when a large duck crashed through a conference room window and landed in the chair next to him.
Todd Griffith said he was working at a computer Tuesday in the conference room at Matern Professional Engineering in south Fort Myers when he was startled by a loud noise, the Fort Myers News-Press reported Thursday.
"I heard a loud boom, and I looked to my left and there was a duck sitting next to me," he said. "It looked at me like, 'what are you doing here?'"
Griffith said the duck wandered the room for a few minutes before he and other workers were able to coax it back outside through a sliding door.
Workers at the firm said the duck appeared uninjured except for a cut on its wing and was back to swimming Wednesday in the drainage ditch behind the business.
