Now for something completely different...

I don't know if you've ever noticed, but geese come off as a disgruntled species.
For instance, dogs are full of personality - they bark, yip, cry, whine, smile and pant. Many dogs seem to have a generally cheerful disposition.
Geese, on the other hand, once they shed their childish, cute, fluff-feathers, also shed any seemingly harmless and adolescent demeanor. At this point, they do nothing more than eye you suspiciously, raise their ugly wings unimpressively and give an ugly honking yell that reminds you of a bad driver with road rage who is stuck in traffic. Adult geese just come across as neurotic. Other than their anger, they don't exude any personality. When they honk (whoank!), you wonder if they have anything in their language besides anger, disdain or annoyance. They don't seem to have a real language (like other animals seem to), and they come across as disgruntled businessmen who can never make a deal. That's only a little of what goes on in my head, and the kind of thing i wonder about.
On another note, I don't like being used, mistreated or looked down on like I'm something lesser, or useless. I seem to be getting that from all sides right now...
