Today I saw the van for a "goose control" service. The van advertised the competence of the specially trained dogs that would harass the geese in question. My first thought? The name of this spot, of course!

Honestly, I thought it was a joke until I saw the driver returning from the store in full goose control uniform. This raises a whole bunch of questions for me, needless to say:
* who is so bedeviled by geese that they need to hire a service to handle them?
* how could there possibly be enough problems with geese (especially where I live) that such a specific pest-control service could thrive? I mean, presumably the general pest control services also provide solutions to the average man-on-the-street's goose emergencies...
* what exactly do the dogs do that requires such special training? I mean, usually dogs are effective at rousting geese by simply running and barking at them. If I paid extra for some special elite dogs as part of my goose control service, those had better be some ex-Navy SEAL dogs with counter-goose-terrorism and hostage negotiation training. They need to throw a net or shoot a tranquilizer dart at least...that, or be genetically altered to fly and shoot laser beams from their eyes.
* who, when finding themselves plagued by geese, would think to look up a goose control specialist?

It's unbelievable, to me.

rofl harold :p


oh you know when you go to the supermarket and you are buying like 2 small items there is always a bag-packer there?!
and then they ask you if then can put your 2 small items in a bag for you
i sometimes feel tempted you say in a posh voice 'oh no thank you very much my two small items will fit in my hand bag' :p
but i still dont understnd why they are there
if someone is capable enough to go shopping surly they can pack their own bags?!
it must be rubbish pay too :p ♥
