The Geese Were Duck’s.

The following little incident took place awhile ago at a Northwestern station in Yorkshire: Some geese had strayed on the railway and were observed by a traveler, who, fearing that they might be run over, said to one of the porters on the platform: “Who owns the geese, my man?” “Them’s Duck’s,” .the porter replied. Again the question was asked, with the same reply. Somewhat annoyed, the traveler called the station master and told him the story, stating that he full well knew the difference between geese and ducks. > The station master laughingly replied: ‘The man Is quite right. Those geese are Duck’s. They belong to Mr. John Duck, the farmer." —London TitBits.
