Funner fact:
They are grammatically Canada Gooses, since Canada Goose is a proper noun
in its entirety, so you just add a common plural to the second noun.
Also, they nest on my roof. It sounds like cannonballs at 6 am, if
cannonballs also sqwuanked. So we have Goose for thanksgiving and I put
the bones in my yard as a warning.
How many of those on military bases are killed during live fire exercises?

Reminds me of a joke my (Edmontonian) wife told me:
The Québécois hate the western Canadians because they aren't French...
...and the French hate the Quebecois
...because they aren't French either.
:-D
But speaking of stupid jail terms, I once was blocked from *liking* posts
on IG because... I liked a post on IG. Literally. I opened IG, scrolled,
LOL'd, liked *one* post, scrolled some more, LOL'd, tried to like --
"...You are blocked from this activity due to a violation of our Terms and
Conditions...."
Uh, WTF?? Isn't that the *entire point* of the app (besides pushing
advertising)??
Lasted a couple of days. Never did figure out what it was all about, and
nobody from IG informed me.
I could read, click through, share/forward posts - everything. Just
couldn't tap 'like'. Weirdest. Shit. Evar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, funny story about Canadian geese - here where I work we have a
man-made lake and it is a natural waterfowl breeding ground - to include
Canadian geese. And because all military bases are de-facto wildlife
preserves, they are, by proxy, protected like any other endangered species.
So they walk around, shitting everywhere, and sit down in the middle of
the roads, and when they do that or waddle through traffic you just have to
sit and wait for them to move. You can't shoo them or charge them with your
vehicle (not that it would make them move). Anyhow one day a guy who
works(ed?) here hit one with his car and was fined $15,000. And I told my
wife about it, and she said it was tantamount to getting fined $15k for
running over a garbage can, or killing a rat.
