    Discusses a report describing the number of 'geese' (people) who have fallen into various lakes while attempting to traverse their frozen surfaces. Thinks those 'geese' who bathed in the freezing cold water were not as 'silly' as the 'geese' who fell through the ice and unintentionally bathed in the water.
