Canadian Geese

The Curmudgeon lives in an area that is gaily speckled with parks, ponds, golf courses and corporate parks.  As a result, he lives in an area that is gaily speckled with Canadian Geese.

Unlike Canadian PEOPLE, who have apparently come to terms with their climate, these pests have discovered that life is sweeter here south of the border.  And, apparently, VERY sweet - they have relocated en mass, gleefully enjoying our bounty...and then promptly excreting it.

I worked with a benighted woman (growing up in Jersey City, she had apparently never seen "wildlife") who FED the cute geese at our corporate pond at lunch.  Afterwards, due to their special way of saying "thank you" by excreting copiously in the adjoining parking lot, the company issued a rule that employees refrain from this practice.

I have a better idea - tell the geese that Jersey City would welcome them!
