Cheers indeed.
Drink coffee and nourish
life.
With the first sip, joy.
With the second, satisfaction.
With
the third, Danish.
as for the geese question ...
nice try buddy but
... ;)
if you ask a 10 yr old kid why one side is longer ...
i would
hope s/he would tell you that it is because
there are more geese on that
side. ;) lol
so the next time you and a friend see them winging
...
see if you can get them to bite.
those who imagine themselves to
have great knowledge
of wildlife are always the easiest to get. ;)
the
look on their face(s) when you tell them is priceless. lol
sort of like the
groans at the hearing of a bad pun.
[btw ... no such thing as a bad pun in
my book]
hmmmmm ....
might have to write this geese thing up as a
nasrudin tale.
cheerz
