I was pecked on the bum once by a goose, I was trying to have a pee in the shrubbery at a party. Gave me a hell of a shock. :D
Oh yeah? Me, too. No peeing in shrubberies, I actually was minding my own damn business.
It hurt like a mofo. That's flesh you see being bitten, there. (Not even my dad's sweater was big enough to protect me, though it pretty much could have fit three of me in there at the time.)
I have a little more meat on my birdy little bones now than I did then, so I'm sure s/he would be able to get an even bigger nip these days. I can't imagine it would hurt less.
Also, if my friend wasn't busy being stereotypically Japanese and taking pictures of everything that moved, she'd never have gotten this shot. Hoorah for Atsuko. LOL She was pretty awesome.

I wonder, can goose-owners be sued?

Heh, I got bit on the bum by a goose once, too. Perhaps they have a taste for INTJs. ;)

These were free-range geese. When you live in a town surrounded on three sides by water, and with lots of ponds and wildlife preserves, you get geese.
In fact, they are fond of office parks in Atlanta.
If you know the name of God's lawyer, let me know, because he's the one who owned that particular goose. :)

That's kind of what happened with my old place. The complex had two large man-made lakes, which the Canadian geese promptly overpopulated and turned into two huge piles of excrement. Literally. Nothing small (dogs, cats, kids) was safe from them, because those suckers are tough and quite imposing when they stick out their chest and start beating their wings and hissing. Soren was a good ten feet away from them and minding his own business when one decided he must die. Fourteen-pound cats are quite strong when running for their lives...he dragged me by his leash. The one that blocked me from my building was in full aggressive pose (the beating and hissing). Standing with my arms akimbo (slightly wing-like, I suppose) and hissing back made him back down, but I wouldn't recommend trying it for laughs.
The only animal (non-bug) that has ever bitten me out of aggression was a small terrier dog. It was later put down because it attacked everyone...mail carriers, neighbors, family members alike, and it ate one of my neighbor's pet ducklings.
Luckily, the most aggressive animals I run into anymore are people's dogs (and all of them on my block seem to be really nice) one of my neighbor's cats that he lets run around, a boatload of squirrels, and occasionally a raccoon. Big whoop.
