I'm a little sad to see all the old stuff lost so I came back to re-tell my favorite story from this board. Maybe the original poster can fill in the datails.

Remember the guy who had the geese stopping by his pool? And the dog would just lay there and look at them even though one would have thought he would bark and scare the geese? Then someone suggested he get a plastic floating crocodile for the pool to keep the geese away? So he did but it didn't, the geese kept coming but then the dog would bark and bark at the crocodile as it bonked against the edge of the pool?

I love that one.
