GOOSE n. A bird ordsprog

en GOOSE, n. A bird that supplies quills for writing. These, by some occult process of nature, are penetrated and suffused with various degrees of the bird's intellectual energies and emotional character, so that when inked and drawn mechanically across paper by a person called an "author," there results a very fair and accurate transcript of the fowl's thought and feeling. The difference in geese, as discovered by this ingenious method, is considerable: many are found to have only trivial and insignificant powers, but some are seen to be very great geese indeed.

I could almost reach up and touch them they flew so low.

en The reason we suspect misuse over the winter, among other things, is that if it is applied as per the label, then the product has to be placed in holes so it is not accessible to geese. With the number of geese found dead, it is a pretty good indicator that there was misuse this past winter.

en One of them, a 14-year-old boy, is in the most serious situation, others are in stable condition. I hope they are not diagnosed with bird flu. But they are suspected cases of bird flu since they ate a sick chicken and they were in close contact with fowl.
