“Two hundred people a year die from mute swans,” Mertz countered. “They box you very hard with their wings.”
So what? A swan isn’t going to drop into my boat from a tree and bite me. It isn’t going to hide under a log waiting for me to step on it. It isn’t going to find its way into my garage, driveway – or mailbox. A swan won’t squeeze you to death. Swans don’t swallow their prey whole. And the cult film was named “Snakes on a Plane,” not “Swans on a Plane.”
