@duglop Ha ha! I've _sort_ of done that by accident before.
We had a mockinbird nesting in a tree right outside our front door, that made car alarm and screaming child noises all day, when it wasn't attacking and pecking people who tried to come or go. I'd determined to drive it off before it laid eggs.
One day, I hear it screech, so I run out in the yard, and just start cussing at it, throwing twigs near it, to chase it.
Just in time to notice the new neighbors moving in.

@duglop So all they see is this crazy person in a robe suddenly run out of a house, and start cussing at a tree.
They were... unnerved. They were of some sort of very conservative, pacifistic, ascetic Christian sect, very demure types, no cussing, no drinking, dressed plain, no make-up, that sort.
Their _kid_ thought it was _awesome_.
