WOW! Just had my excitement for the day!
Went outside the office to have a puff... its warm enough, so I figured I'd take a stroll around the building and make a few phone calls at the same time.
Im on the phone, merrily walking when I hear the flapping of wings and hissing!
I look up and... "What the diddly!?!?!" A whoopee goose is headed STRAIGHT FOR ME!! The thing is going about mach 5, is no more that 5 feet from me when I spot it, wings outspread, head hieght, and hissing!!
After yelling the above quoted words to the individual on the other end of the phone, I take a good 6-7 steps backward without thinking in horror of this black and white beast hellbent on my destruction!
Upon noting that the goose was flying faster than I was stumbling backwards I cocked my arm in a backhand position and held my ground in anticipation of my own "shock and awe" strike.
I wait a split second for the infidel to enter into the firing arc of my fist and let loose. Three knuckels firmly plant into the fat underbelly of this feathered warrior and the crunch was satisfying. The goose is knocked to the ground, and with my defensive measure successful, I proceed to step further away from this furious flyer.
Now on the ground, the goose is hissing madly and starts running at me! Hell with this, I shut the phone off and ran like an 8 year old to the front door into the waiting taunts of my co-workers. Safely inside the building now, my collegues and I watch as the goose returns to its previous location, obviously a nest.
Amidst settling a bit from my adrenaline rush, I eye up my aggressor and begin laughing. This indeed... is turning out to be an intersting day.
