Well know writer and intellectual, Gore Vidal, used to have a goose farm...

I though that was one of them rubber things that kids hold on a piece of string?

Goose, a bagpipe without drones.

It's sexist, as in "Take a gander at THAT!"

Who do I goose? And if I use more than one finger is it geese?

If a goose is a bagpipe without drones, which end do you blow down? :-S

Mind you, there are a few windbags who drone on without having anyone blow them. If you will excuse the expression...

Did Gore own a goose farm or did he goose a farmer?

I don't think The Motors used bagpipes. Or geese.

I happen to like bagpipes (although not necessarily indoors) but I agree that geese are so equipped.

When I was a young'un on the farm, my mother reared all manner of fowl, including a large gaggle of geese. They were frequently mean and always messy.

The worst was at noontime when my mother would tell me to call Dad and the other men in from the fields. Our house was on a high knoll and the fields were below. Had everything been quiet the men could have heard my call.

Instead, when I called Daddy! Daddy! the geese out of sight below the steep slow would respond hahahhahahahahahha!. Not able to hear the men's response and not sure they had heard me, I would have to descend the slope and call again: Daddy! Daddy!    Hahhahahahahhah!


Repeat.

DtG, this would be hilarious in the Emily Litella thread-- are you familiar with that character? The OP there and the posts that follow give some idea. (I bet her clips are on YouTube, too.)

I am not a gynecologist, but, I'll take a gander, and maybe even a goose.
