When I was a kid we never had Canadian geese around. 35 years later when I was coaching little league baseball the sons-of-bitches were shitting all over our fields.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

All I know is that when a kid dove for a ball in the outfield he came up covered with goose-shit.

Collared Doves are pretty good as well, I park under trees and my car more often looks white than silver!
