Kim and Damn Dog

As some of you know I work for a Council. Leading up to elections they all go a bit feral. We call it the ‘Dribble Season’.

Within the precinct there is a small wet land area, which is home to five Snow Geese. During the breeding season they get a bit territorial and are best left alone for a while.

Apparently one Councillor had a bit of a run in with them, and also complained on another occasion they blocked his parking space.

He’s now decided their a menace to society, and called for a Goose psychological assessment!

I’m at a bit of a loss. Should I recommend shock treatment for the Councillor (recommended) or put up Goose signs and charge them for infringements?

Any ideas would be appreciated before I lose my mind.

LOL

Regards

Kim

Gidday mark

Seems to me that I'm stuck between a goose and a hard place.

Good Evening Kim / Mark and all.

I was wondering what Geese would taste like, some thing like Duck
I imagine, nah give that a miss, Geese are a good Early Warning System, they seem to act like watch dogs and make a hell of a racket
when somebody has disturbed them, maybe the Council Security
Section could hire them, and leave them at one of there Depots, to
patrol the compounds at night, they could save the Rate Payers a
few Dollars, and Kim could be in charge of them, his new Council
Title could be Goose Man LOL.

Cheers
Daza

Kim, I think you misunderstood. The Goose psychological assessment is for him. Who runs your council, Mayor Quimby?

You could always stir the pot by contacting the local "goose civil rights activists society".

Psychologist - "so tell me Mr Goose, how does that make you feel?"
Goose - "well to be honest, it's dwriving me quackers"
