The Goose Has Right of Way - Funny Goose Shirt
Four lanes of traffic, one goose, and the goose is in no hurry. Nobody honks at it. It honks first. The minivan waits, the delivery truck waits, and a man in a pickup backs up six feet like that was the plan all along. Anyone who walks a lake path in May already knows how this goes: the goose decides when the crossing is over, the goose decides who gets hissed at, and the goose has never once yielded. A funny goose shirt for people who have lost a staring contest to a bird. The light turned green twice. Nobody moved.
THE FINE PRINT
THE GOOSE across the top, HAS RIGHT OF WAY across the bottom, both in heavy cracked capitals. Between them a white goose faces straight out with its wings flung wide and its beak open mid-honk, orange feet planted either side of a dashed road center line. The bird is distressed to match the letters.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
Do you legally have to stop for geese?
Most traffic laws say nothing about geese by name, but every driver has a duty to avoid hitting what is in the road, and wild geese are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so running one down on purpose is illegal. In practice you stop, wait, and let the goose finish.
Can a goose hurt you with its wings?
Yes. A goose strikes with the bony bend of its wing hard enough to bruise, and it bites. Most injuries in goose run-ins come from people tripping while they back away or run. Backing away slowly works better. So does giving it the road.
Why do birds sit in the road?
Pavement holds the day's heat, an open road gives a clear view of anything coming, and the grit on the shoulder helps birds grind their food. Geese have a fourth reason: they have learned the cars will stop.
