A giggle of geese

Every now and again, I hear something that gives me pause.

For example, today one of my writing associates used the expression "gay as a goose."

How do we know geese are gay? Maybe they're just better at distinguishing the male geese from the female geese than we are. (Geese all look the same to me. But then, I try not to get that close.)



And if geese are gay, where do the baby geese come from?

I wonder what Hubert "Geese" Ausbie would say about all of this.
