Sometimes some funny things can happen on a windshield repair and here is one of mine. Let's hear yours.
I got one of Safelites 50 mile away referrals and decided to take it because I didn't have anything better to do.
I got to a place out in the country away and the chap had a motorhome with three dings in it and he had a nice place with a lake, animals, geese and ducks.
He had one goose that walked with a noticeable limp and was very friendly. Unusual for a goose unless you have something for them to eat.
He explained that because the goose was defective the other geese would bite it and chase it away so the poor ol' critter took up with the human and other animals that would tolerate it.
Well the chips on the motorhome were up a bit so I had to get up on my three step ladder. Just goose neck high.
I found out the goose was playful and mischievous and she would start nibbling on my shoe laces and untie them. If a goose could grin, she would have. She did make happy little chirping noises.
I couldn't shoo her away.
I tried ignoring the goose and she would have none of it. Then she started nibbling a little higher pulling the hairs on my legs and nipping a little flesh along with it.
It didn't hurt badly, but it was annoying me.
I told the owner that he had a very nice goose but was distracting and could he put her up somewhere.
He obliged, picked the goose up and carried her to the other side of the yard.
I tell you this goose let out real sobbing noises she was so hurt. Real pathetic.
A fat old bitch dog had been snoozing with one eye partly open, was taking all this in and was delighted at the discomfort of the blubbering goose.
She awoke from her slumber and was grinning mightily waddling over to beg for a caress from her master.
Apparently these two did a lot of struggling for their masters attention.
We had a very happy dog and miserable goose and both were sending messages to each other over who was the victor.
The goose, sobbing, was slithering back across the yard very, very slowly to try to regain some favor.
I made a comment how funny this was to the owner and he replied that if I wanted to see something funny,
"watch this!!"
He walked over to the goose, picked her up and was petting her and talking sweetly and making her comfortable.
She responded by making goose coos and rubbing her head on her masters chest.
The ol' fat dog, by now had leaped to attention with a loud "gasp" and was making very sad moans and if dogs ever cried tears, this one would.
The goose was so very happy and by now the dog, seeing how the goose was receiving the affection that the dog had thought was rightfully hers, had collapsed in anguish, feet and legs pawing the ground, rolling over on her back, pawing the air emitting the most miserable moans and howls any animal could muster.
I got to laughing so hard I had to go to the porch to sit down.
The man petted the goose and you would think the dog was going to die from hurt. Such a mournful racket she put up.
I laughed all the way home, a happy day indeed.
