Why not sue Aflac too for fostering the image of geese as lovable, wacky characters?
To: Luna
You better believe they can be aggressive. I encountered a flock on a golf course one time, and one big sucker charged at me. Thought I was going to lose a 7 iron fighting him off.

When I say "bite," I really mean pinch. Geese have no teeth but they can do a number on any exposed skin (like if you're wearing shorts) with their bill.

GOOSE ON THE LOOSE!!!

I remember those. But not the BMX track. Must have been after I moved away ('90). Real nice area. I bet it is all developed by now.

How do you lose to a goose?

The BMX track was put in around '90/'91. The area has built up significantly. I used to live in Palm Beach National which was just south of there off of Pinehurst Drive (which connected Forest Hill Blvd and Lake Worth Rd.).
What high school did you go to?

My geese are so mean that they chase cars coming up our drive and bite at the tires.

My geese are so mean that they chase cars coming up our drive and bite at the tires. LOL - one of mine once made the mistake of nipping my father on the tush when he was bent over digging a hole in the back yard years ago. A shovel makes a nasty implement when wielded in anger, and Dad was madder than a hornet.
The goose survived his impromptu flying lesson, but was never the same afterward.

Sent ya FR mail. By the way, what a cool profile page you have! How do you like G'Ville? Had two siblings go there to UF, I used to visit them every weekend while in H.S. *nudge*nudge*wink*wink*
G'Ville can be a wild place. Ever play golf on Gainesville Green? hehe
To: Bluntpoint
LOL! Attack Geese!
To: Luna
'Bambi' can be mean when provoked. And it isn't the antlers you worry about so much as the hooves.
To: doug from upland
"How do you lose to a goose?"
Maybe by being too loose.
But if it were me attacked?
One word: pate'
To: Bluntpoint
CRIKEY! TAKE A LOOK AT THE TEETH ON THA' MONSTER!
To: MrB
Yep, geese are 95% bluff. Wave your arms, yell loudly, and charge and most of the time the goose will back off (unless you are attacking one of it's babies).

What does the shunt have to do with anything? Do geese go for shunts in a big way? Shunts are directly connected into the body and are vulnerable. If they are pulled loose, there can be bleeding. If they get dirty, there can be infection. I understand the mother being protective on a little kid with a shunt, but the whole thing still seems silly.

L O L .
In a related note, a man stabbed himself in the eye with a screwdriver, and sued snap on for not attaching this warning label:
"stabbing self in eye with screw driver does not give magic powers, do not attempt under any circumstances"
