Was dead stopped for 20 minutes. Got home and found out the cause. Geese. Fucking geese. I would've plowed through those feathered bastards without even thinking about it.

I blame the dumb fucks at the front of the line who stopped. I might slow down, but no way in hell I'm going to stop and wait for fucking birds to walk across the road.

I would not have stopped on the highway for geese. That kinda shit leads to accidents.Commander of Awesome;1153388 wrote:Really? You would have ran over the flock for them inconveniencing you?

Sounds like you all need some mother fucking swans over there to keep the geese in line.

Liar. Geese don't cause auto accidents - people cause auto accidents. Murderer.

Seriously, though. I would not have hit them at 75mph but I'm certainly not going to come to a complete friggin' stop on the highway and block traffic because of some geese.

Yeah. If it was a bald eagle in the road I'd stop. But geese? Come on.Raw Dawgin' it;1153419 wrote:Geese are not endangered

Just the opposite for me. I'd speed up for a bald eagle. You know how many points those are worth? I'd probably speed up for a dog, too. But only if it's black.justincredible;1153429 wrote:Yeah. If it was a bald eagle in the road I'd stop. But geese? Come on.

What about an emu?justincredible;1153429 wrote:Yeah. If it was a bald eagle in the road I'd stop. But geese? Come on.
True story, I dead-stopped on the interstate one time for an emu. I thought it was an ostrich. Had I known it was just an emu, probably would've hit it. Fucking wannabes. Also, had I known I'd be divorced a few years later, I'd probably have hit it too, since I was driving my then-wife's car. Or just "hit it" because it wasn't as much of a slut as my now ex-wife. Additionally, I felt like I was going to be Jurassic Park'd as the fucking thing turned his head from side-to-side looking in my window. That is all.

But yeah, I'd have stopped for that. That could kill you.

Yeah, it's one thing to stop on a smaller road. But on the interstate during rush hour? No.

I don't like justin's story so I'll tell my own.
Played a double header in cleveland last year, heading home in a charter. Stopped in traffic for like two minutes. Apparently that was too much for our bus driver because he went onto the side of the freeway and drove twenty minutes past all the traffic.
Now that's a cool story, justin.

A few weeks ago I stopped and got food, and pulled into a nearby parking lot to eat. Two nearby geese walked over and pecked at my ear ties until I got annoyed and moved.
