So then, what you're telling is, I've been just lucky, huh? Man, what a bummer.
Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
I just got back from my golf league. While out there I remembered that really, really, bad goose isn't a goose at all but a SWAN.
In fact I'm told that courses put swans in their ponds to drive off geese! I'm not vouching for that but I will say that one swan I've referred to could drive off a lot bigger critter than a goose! ;o)
