    Trivia

    Ok, here is a bit of trivia: Who does the voice over for the Aflack Duck?

    Obviously, no google, bling, wikipedia or other searches.

    Answer later tonight ....

    I know who it is, but I won't spoil all the guesswork.

        The voice and those trademark squinty eyes (the "actor", not the duck) are very annoying... But that's what they're supposed to be...

                I taught my 2 year old that ducks say Aflack

                Some day, some where a teacher is going to ask him what a duck says and he will say Aflack. This completely cracks me up.

                My job is done.

                        Bingo.

                        I guess this was easier for everyone but me. I was surprised.

                            And the Yogi commercial is still the best

                              You're right, the best of the bunch. I like the Aflac commercials because they have a bunch in rotation so you don't go nuts seeing the same spot a dozen times a night.
