Hee hee hee. Poor John. He and Martin Crieff can exchange mauled-by-geese stories now.

Very true!

I'll have you know you're responsible for the water currently bathing part of my laptop, because it was impossible not to laugh at lines like "like a demented, black-cloaked gazelle" and the mental image of John in the muck and a flock of geese stepping over and biting him.

Hee! *hands you a towel*

who steals a bloody huge impossible-to-steal sapphire but then gets cornered in a farmyard and goes 'hey! I'll stick this down a live goose. It'll be safe there.' And secondly, how?
Yes. Every version of the story has this little problem.

Poor John!

OK, you win this hands-down! Between the hilarious images, the vivid descriptions, John getting stampeded over by a flock of geese (I can't even type that without giggling), and the impromptu surgery . . . yes. WIN.

*blushes* Why thank you! I'm honored!
