Heh heh. Having been smacked in the face by goose wings once or twice (some
idiot up at Lake Needwood had shot one through the neck with a blowgun dart
and I had to catch the poor thing and pull the dart out) I can relate to the
dismay of anyone getting the "bad goose". But then again, there's a reason
that geese are regarded as silly, which is the fact that one can generally
snag an attacking goose by the neck if it's flying at you, and that does tend
to reduce the grocery bill, if you've got the time and clothing to clean it.

The ducks, by the way, aren't much better.
