Last night, it was Sunil-0, Geese-1.

I was driving a Toyota 4-Runner in my neighborhood, and a pair of geese were in a set of empty lots. These geese have taken up residence on our neighborhood pond.

So, I thought.."I've got some free time. Why not try and chase them off with the truck??"

Well, I left the road, and proceeded to accelerate into the grass. Once I got over this slight incline, I realized I was now driving in a swamp, and rapidly lost speed.

These geese didn't flinch as I slowed up, self realizing that I was going to get stuck.

In desperation, I honked my horn, and the geese still didn't leave.

Then, I did get stuck.

I heard the geese taunting me as my neighbor pulled my truck out of the muck.
