Which reminds me of a story my son Andy (15 yrs old) told me last spring.  Andy
was sitting under a tree by the pond at his school and reading a book.  He kept
hearing the honking of a goose, not unusual since Canadas are at the pond
year-round.  What WAS unusual was that the honking was coming from over his
head.  Here's how Andy told it:

HONK.  HONK.  HONK.
Andy looks up, sees no goose.  Honking stops.  Andy continues reading.
HONK.  HONK.  HONK.
Andy looks up, sees no goose.  Honking stops.  Andy continues reading.
And on and on, with Andy getting more and more puzzled as to how he could be
missing something the size of a goose right over his head.  Finally, culprit
discovered:  Mockingbird!
