Factual Questions

“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”
What IS good for the goose? Mine’s sick, and I fear for my gander. I read this poem once (I couldn’t read it twice!) and it’s got me worried #:- (

I had a gander at this
And this is what I think
What’s good for the goose
Would make a blind man blink

Orange sauce.

I always thought the expression WAS “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.”

Thanks, CKDextHavn,

That’s what I thought it was too.

By the way, would someone please tell Aunt Rhodie, that the old gray goose is dead?

In the rhyme:

Goosie goosie gander
Where dost thou wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady’s chamber.

How do you choose which words to mispronounce?

Hey, Enright3, how did that ol’ gray goose die, anyway?
I heard the goslings are pretty broken up about it.

And if you think this thread’s going to turn into a debate about whether it’s ‘sauce’ or ‘good’, you’ve got another thin coming!

I think sauce is what’s good, but only if your goose is cooked.

I’m sorry but it IS good… isn’t it? Or is this one of those pond gets in the way thingyme wotsits? Septics always messing where they shouldn’t. Bringing it neatly onto ducks.

Chinese whispers - don’t shout, I heard ya

I’ve heard that “shit through a goose” goes pretty fast. Anyone have any experience with this? Maybe that’s how fast Goose Gossage could pitch?

Hey, panamajack, you don’t suppose that the old gray goose died from getting… you know… goosed?

Mother Goose, are you out there?
There was an old lady who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children, her uterus fell out.

Finally, let’s not forget the Spruce Goose

Leave me alone.

I’ve always heard “sauce.” I think the implication (allusion?) is that you don’t prepare a different sauce for your goose dinner based on the bird’s gender. Just my 2 cents.

OK, fun’s fun. But it’s time to close this thread.

I left it open yesterday because, because, well because I forgot to close it.

But absent a General Question, closed it is.
