Today I saw a pest control truck that promised to remove raccoons, squirrels, moles, foxes, and geese. I can understand the first four, as they carry disease, are dangerous, or destroy property. I'm a little puzzled about the geese though. Do people really have goose problems? I guess they could be very protective and snippy if they have a nest in your attic or something, but somehow I think I'd prefer to have a resident goose than, say, a fox running around in my apartment at night.

But then again maybe that's just because I envision the goose walking around trying to advertise life insurance but always being drowned out by appliances or other noises in a humorous fashion. I know in the ad it's a duck, but I'm sure if you gave a goose a chance it could stand in admirably.
