Honk! Honk! Goose Jam

On my way in to work this morning, I saw a car whip around a turn just in front of me, then come to a screeching halt. Why? Because a large gaggle of geese was waddling slowly across the street (several breeding pairs and their progeny).

Traffic backed up. People got impatient.

“Honk! Honk!” said the cars. “Honk! Honk!” said the geese.

It was pretty pointless, like much of the debate to come in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Somebody’s going to get mowed down eventually, once the honking stops.
