Goose attack!

gooseLast week I was attacked by a Canadian goose.

I was delivering flowers to a house in Lloyd Harbor.  I saw a family of geese sunbathing in the front lawn.

I passed them, careful not to step on their poop all over the place, heading to the front porch.

All the sudden, a big goose started charging at me!  I run for life.  This is a big bird with strong beak, and I wasn’t ready to serve my toes or fingers to him.

I thought of calling 9-11.  However, the last thing I wanted was to end up in a local news as a guy who called the cop because of an attack goose.  That’s not going to help my manhood self-esteem.  Besides, that would give my wife a perfect punchline to humiliate me in front of our mutual friends.

So I decided not to call.  I just run to the side door and rang the bell.  No one came to the door, so I left the flowers there.  It’s quite possible that people in that house was too afraid to come out.

If you have any doubt on how vicious a Canadian goose can be, take a look at the video below.
