What happens to a duck if it flies upside down?

It quacks up.

*gets coat*

I think if you squeeze a Duck hard it will crap on you, therefore I would say if you turn said Duck around you could crap the candle out quite easily.
Settled.

My mate used to squeeze his cat Ghengis, if you did it right, he (Ghengis, not Alan) would sound like bagpipes.

Mind you, bagpipes sound like cats being squeezed anyway.

It's actually our lungs that do the "sucking" and "blowing" by expanding/contracting. Expanding creates a bigger capacity which needs to be filled... which is done by "sucking" air in through our mouth

Yes but it's not that easy to blow a candle out with a simple exhale. You use your mouth and lips to force the air into a narrow blast, making the exhaling hair more narrow causing more disruption to the flame.

Try it, get a lighter and relax your mouth, exhale as hard as you can to blow out the flame but keep your mouth still.

I've been a brass player for near on 6 years... I've been told I have a powerful blow....
