He'd follow you around, making a pest of himself until you were
forced to lure him away with a chunk of bread. The neighborhood had
named him "Harry" as I recall.

No joke.

At the parks, you will see ducks and geese attacking people to get
food. Animals can become very aggressive and dangerous when they
associate humans with free handouts. They have signs up all over the
place to tell people it is illegal to feed the wildlife, yet you will
see mothers bring their little children down to feed them bread. The
mothers always seem amazed when the ducks/geese nip and bite them. If
they had only learned how to read the signs.


People can become very aggressive and dangerous when they believe they
are entitled to free handouts. That's one of the things that makes B.H.
Obama so scary and dangerous when he promises the world and, if elected,
won't be able to deliver.


Now OT, as usual.
