Kickass and the goose flight leader
Kickass, the doorstop dog, using his special communication powers, reports the following:
It is early morning at the goose pond and there is a bustle of feathery wing-stretches as the daily take-off time approaches:
Goose 1: “Where are we going today?”
Goose 2: “I hope we are going south, but the current flight leader does not believe in magnetic fields or navigation rules, so God only knows where we’re headed.”
Goose 1: “Seriously, you think God knows?”
Goose 2: “Well, maybe not.”
Goose 1: “Yesterday we flew northwest which is a ridiculous direction for this time of year, and could see us frozen to the surface of some Wisconsin lake with winter coming on.”
Goose 2: “Yeah, and the crazy formation! ‘D’ instead of a ‘V!’ We’ve been flying ‘V’s forever, and we’ve always headed south at this time. I say we do something about replacing the flight director before he flies us into a total ‘D’ disaster.”
Goose 1: “How do we do it?”
Goose 2: “Vote!”
Goose 1: “Geese don’t vote!”
Goose 2: “The smart ones do.”
