There are about nine or ten Canda (Canadian) Geese that wonder the area, and it seems that there’s always piles of goose poop right next to each other. I can’t believe this would be from one goose, so I wonder… do the geese have a signal that tells everyone in the flock to release at the same time? What does it sound like? I’d like to try it on the elevator to see if works on people.
Not likely, I know domestic geese crap where ever they please.
However…have you ever heard the term “loose as a goose”?
I would imagine that if a flock of thirty or so were flying overhead and even 10% decided to crap at the same time you would come to appreciate the appropriateness of the term.
“INCOMING”!!!
I was on the Eden golf course at St. Andrews (before they mutilated it) on a tee surrounded on three sides by gorse. A large flock of geese flew overhead, very impressively. About 5 seconds later came the sound of goose crap falling on gorse, lasting for more than a few seconds.
None of us had our mouths open…
My apartment building must be full of geese, because every evening around 6:30, the water pressure drops for a minute or two…
I’m sure goose shitting is similar to sneezing in humans. One goose does it, and the ones behind him are triggered to do it. That’s actually common in animals isn’t it? Presumably a flock would all feed at the same time, sleep (or what passes for goose sleep) at the same time, why wouldn’t they dump at the same time too?
And lets not be quick to judge geese harshly for defecating in the open. Most geese have a hell of a time getting a decent toilet anyway, since most fast food places, gas stations, quickie marts, etc. have “paying customers only” policies for their restrooms these days. And why the fuck would a goose need to buy a Slim Jim any way?
I suppose you may see an occasional rugged individualist goose who craps at a different hour just to “be different”, for the same reason some humans dangle chains from their titties and cut holes the seat in their jeans, so the whole freakin’ world can see their buttock-skin. But I say lay off ok! I mean can’t geese just be geese?
Sneezing in humans contagious? I suppose you could pass a cold virus this way, if you sneeze in someone else’s face, but the incubation period is at least 72 hours, and more likely 5 to 7 days, before the other person starts sneezing. I am unaware of the contagious sneeze phenomenon where one person’s sneeze triggers another within a short timespan, and I’ve searched the medical literature. Cite, please?

Ok I screwed up. I mean’t yawning. People tend to yawn when those around them yawn. I confused sneezing with yawning. I wasn’t talking about contagion, only imitated behavior.
English and logic aren’t my strong suits.
