Goose Update: Park Rangers Tricked by Old Steve Martin Gag

It was the goose chase that put the whole City on hold, until the goose search itself was put on hold. Silly staff at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park got all upset last week when someone spotted a Canadian goose with an arrow through its neck. They tried to capture the goose to help it but could not, because it could run away and fly like a goose without a life-threatening neck injury. Then on Saturday, the goose was found with no arrow through its neck. Now, we know, it’s a miracle! Or, more likely, the goose was wearing a rubber collar with the two unconnected pieces of a fake plastic arrow coming out on either side. That’s an old one.
