Consider the job description, which has not changed in four thousand years: stand in the field. Frighten things away.
Nobody ever writes down which things, you notice. Nobody sets a limit on it.
A fellow gets stuffed with straw and stood up on a pole in the middle of a pumpkin field with a burlap sack for a face and one lamp lit behind the eyehole, and he is given a single instruction, and the instruction is FRIGHTEN, and then everybody acts astonished when he turns out to be extremely good at it.
The crows left in August. The dogs will not come past the fence. The farmer has started taking the long way round to his own barn.
Best hire that man ever made. Ask him and see what he says.
