Why do the same people who look down their noses and faint dead away at the sight, or thought, of a flamingo on their lawn insist on having one of those geese that they can dress up for the holidays? What makes the goose more socially acceptable than the flamingo? You can dress them both up, and I dare you not to smile at a flamingo wearing an Abe Lincoln getup in honor of President's Day. Perhaps it's that not enough people dress up their flamingos. They should. The creative opportunities are just about endless. Why, you could recreate the first Thanksgiving, the Nativity scene, and any number of events that require more than one figure. Sure, people see flamingos as tacky, but when you think about it, aren't geese that you dress up tacky too? Personally, I'd rather have a flamingo because you have a better chance of being the only one on your block with a dressed up flamingo than you do with a dressed up goose.
