Geese

If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for, anyway?

A few nicknames for Canadian geese that you may not be familiar with include: "flying rats," "snot rockets," "cobra chicken," and "sky carp." What is strange is that these are also nicknames I gave to my brother Erik. You might think it is mean since he wasn't actually Canadian. But I have two thoughts on that: first - it's the fact he wasn't Canadian that makes you think that was mean? And second, I didn't ask you want you thought, snot rocket.
