(Stockholm) A Swedish hunter spent two days in bed after being knocked unconscious by a Canada goose that landed on his head moments after his son shot it dead, news reports said Wednesday.

The goose had been flying about 20 metres up in the air when it was shot by Carl Johan Ilback, who was hunting with his father, Ulf, along a stream in eastern Sweden in August. When the goose dropped from the sky, it hit Ulf Ilback in the head and knocked him out, he said.

"The story brought about a lot of laughter at work," he was quoted as saying, adding that during this month's moose hunt, he may wear a helmet.


Have at 'er, Magoo...

BRIDGEKEEPER:
What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen goose?
ARTHUR:
What do you mean? A Canadian or European goose?
BRIDGEKEEPER:
Huh? I-- I don't know that. Auuuuuuuugh!

Didn't Fabio take a duck in the face while on a roller coaster?

Being Canadian, the goose didn't honk.
