I attend a medium-size state university in Southern Illinois. The campus is well taken care of, which means that instead of migrating south during the winter the geese stick around and take advantage of the readily available supply of grass and other food. Over time, these geese have ceased to give a shit about migrating and have taken up premanent residence all year long. Not only that, they've become accustomed to humans and don't seem very afraid of us. They walk across the quad eating crumbs from overpriced Starbucks pastries, they take their sweet-ass time crossing the road, and worst of all they leave green, disgusting turds wherever they damn well please. I used to think all the people walking around with their heads pointed at their shoes were unsociable pricks, or at the worst just terribly shy. Then I realized they were carefully examining each step they take because they DON'T LIKE GREASY GOOSE TURDS ON THEIR SHOES! Eventually, I came to accept the carpet of goose shit on campus as inevitable. But today that all changed.
While I was walking home from class I noticed two geese walking side by side towards me. I moved over to the side so as to not disturb them and as they passed by one of the geese stopped and hissed at me. It was like he was saying "What the fuck are you doing on my sidewalk?" So much for the stereotype that Canadians are friendly. Not one to put up with guff from strangers, least of all imigrant water fowl, I lurched at the goose in order to scare it away. Big mistake. I guess I offended his sense of goose machismo, because the little son of a bitch started chasing me! I started running, thinking he would give up, but apparently geese are very determined. He kept flapping his wings and nipping at my pant leg. After about 20 yards I got fed up with it, turned around, and kicked him in the face as hard as I could. I had two things working to my advantage:
- I grew up and worked on a dairy farm, as well as played on the offensive line in high school, so I've got fairly strong legs.
- I was wearing boots
No longer will I allow these foreign nationals to deface my homeland with their squalid ways; no longer will I stand idly by as these uninvited guests steal valuable resources from decent, hard-working American animals. NOW is the time to stand up to the Foreign Menace!
