I have said it before time and time again...

I have said it before that I love working with the elderly gen.

I had that pleasure today again.

WE went over things several times to make sure that understood.

Then the elderly gent asks me...

"You ever see geese flying?"

 

Yes, I replied.

 

"Well, one line is longer than the other, do you know why that is?"

 

I don't know, I said.

 

"Well, it is because there are more geese in that line."

 

I laughed and said...well you got me there.

 

I love the elderly!

William Feela You are right with this observation. The elderly tend to bring us back to the basics.

Yes, simple ... and funny.  Yet, there is a reason there are more geese in the longer line.  Happy Days!

Had he asked me that question, I would have gone into the possibility there were the same number of birds, but that they were flying closer together in one of the lines.  But, your elderly gentleman's answer is potentially correct too!

Sage old wisdom we get from the senior generation, and sometimes must old jokes, thanks for sharing this one Bill.
