Not from Dr. V, but just in case he is indisposed:

A "Flock" of geese in flight is not a "flock" but a skein, based on Webster's 9th New Collegiate Dictionary. Flock is not a word used to discuss geese. They are a gaggle on the ground and a skein in the air. Never really a flock.

Old Mother Goose,
When she wanted to wander,
Would ride through the air,
On a very fine gander.

There was this fellow who had a pet goose.He loved his goose and took it everywhere with him.One day he went to the movies and the ticket seller told him that his goose was not allowed in the theater.He ran around the corner and stuffed the goose in his pants.Then he bought his ticket and went into the theater.He selected a seat next to two elderly ladies.

During the movie he could hear his goose panting due to lack of air.He unzipped his pants to let the goose breathe. Soon the lady next to him elbowed her friend and whispered, "Esther, Esther you won't believe whats going on next to me."Esther glances over and says, "Well, you've seen one you've seen them all."

"Well, maybe, but this one's eating my popcorn!"
