Goose Playing Chicken Causes Mayhem

Today as we were leaving Little Otter Swim School we witnessed a car accident.  I was at a stop sign waiting to turn onto a busy 4 lane road, when I noticed two obnoxious geese (as if there is any other kind) walking along the grass by the road.  Of course they waddle off the curb right into the middle of both lanes.  This sassy red Pontiac convertible screeches to a halt and someone following too closely plows their Honda right into the back of it.  Goose walks off unscathed.  Apparently his work was done here.  Off to take a dump on the sidewalk, I suppose.  What they do best. 

First of all, if it were me barreling down the road at 50 MPH heading for a goose, I would most certainly have been picking goose feathers out of my grill rather than standing in the road arguing with the lady that just wailed into my car.  I confess that I also would have gotten some secret pleasure out of creaming one of those bastard fowls that use the world as their outhouse.  I am so sick of going to the park and having to maneuver myself and a stroller through a minefield of poop.  Forget about letting SB roam free - she's a collector, remember?  That's not something I'd want her to hoard in her little fists.  She'd end up with bird flu or e coli...I hate those feathery beasts.  They sneer at me as I walk around the lake, like, yeah I poop on your sidewalk, whaddayagonnadoaboutit?  Man, I'd love to drop-kick one of those sons of...well, I think I have properly conveyed my feelings towards Canadian Geese.  So imagine my shock that this guy in his sports car missed the opportunity to remove one of them from the planet. 

Go ahead, PETA, burn a goose down comforter on my front lawn for this post.  I don't care.  Spend twenty minutes picking goose poo out of your sneaker treads every time you go to the park and see whose side you're on then.

{Please note that no one, including those dang geese, were injured in this accident but it probably caused several thousand dollars worth of damage to both cars.  That's a lot of money for a stupid bird.}
