Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I was merely molesting ducks (verbally) and splitting an infinitive to amuse Pat. As for geese, why do you think they call it being goosed? Also, many Scottish firms use flocks of geese as guard dogs, because they cannot be bribed and will go insane at the slightest intrusion. Lastly, many thanks for mentioning Dickens. And I wouldn't run with you there to protect me with your feet of iron.

So clever. i don't even remember what an infinitive is. :::goes to look it up::: > As for geese, why do you think they call it being goosed?

When you look them in the eyes you can just tell they have so much going on up there in their brains. As far as not being bribed? Well, i have found they often enjoy stale cheese crackers and crusts of day-old bread; perfect diversionary tactic for getting by them to enjoy the river at sunset. *lol* > Lastly, many thanks for mentioning Dickens. i have always wondered about that term " sucha dickens " or " run like the dickens " ; my family always used it.
