Thread Name: BS: H5 avian virus found in Canadian goose
Subject: RE: BS: H5 avian virus found in Canadian goose
At least bobad recognized that with respect to geese "WMD" means "Weapons of Mass Defecation"; but that won't stop the Pentagon.
I'd suggest that concerned Canadians procure themselves battered hard hats (orange or yellow preferred) and practice carrying LARGE wrenches (spanners) and learn the lingo of the oil riggers so they can pass themselves off as someone useful when the troops arrive. (I can assume that wearing old flannel shirts and worn-out blue jeans comes naturally?)
Those with appropriately wide bottoms can of course pretend to be oilfield truckers; but the tanker jockeys do have their own patois that must be learned for "passing" effectively.
And Peace - all those photos you so kindly collected are probably all posted on the walls of the DoD planning rooms by now. All the evidence needed once they're leaked to the right media (with the correct spin, of course).
Of course it will be inconvenient of all the geese fly south before an infected one is found, but the story about "they hid their WMDs" worked well enough once ...
