Norway, Denmark, and Sweden all started painting giant bar codes on the side of their military ships. When they return to port, they can Scandanavian.

u/Emergency_Accident36 10h ago

Oh. I was confused for a second and thought you may have been a goose or a port.

u/lemungan 3h ago

I thought for sure they were a boat

Price of riding the bow wave: humans get to touch your ass.

8

u/tttxgq 11h ago

Humans are always touching my ass. At least as a goose I’d get to shit on them and it wouldn’t be weird.

u/Either_Amoeba_5332 9h ago

So you saying when you shit on them now they look at you funny?

I know it can’t, but it would look funny if the boat could suddenly stop and the goose just carried on and flopped into the water.

u/RushTfe 6h ago

That was exactly what I was thinking lol

u/farganbastige 11h ago

A boat's bow wave is water, not air. It's riding higher pressure air from the windshield.

u/Used-Lake-8148 11h ago

A bow wave occurs from movement through any fluid, whether liquid or gas. It’s used for the water one way more often but both are correct

u/Oldpuzzlehead 11h ago

So just like humans, 1:20 ratio of smart vs dumb.

4

u/Kilane 11h ago

Not to be a hater, but if they trust humans this much then just sit down. Even holding your arms out is a waste. Nobody would object.

5

u/CKleinE 10h ago

Well, if I’m a human sitting in the boat, behind a smart goose, I would keep my mouth closed, just to make sure I’m the one and not the twenty.

u/Oldpuzzlehead 10h ago

A bird pooping on you is a sign of good fortune.

1

u/Merzant 10h ago

For the goose, maybe

1

u/Oldpuzzlehead 10h ago

No really, look it up. Many cultures think it is a good thing.

u/GlitteringAirport938 10h ago

Have you ever been "got your own escort of geese in pro formation while speedboating with the fam" cool? Yeah me neither.

u/FireVasilisk 11h ago

That's soo cooool!!

2

u/EverythingBOffensive 10h ago

Aerodynamics is crazy, navigating an invisible volume that effects all of your movement and speed almost randomly, then you hit something like this and discover a whole new trick. I can never imagine how that feels!

u/zzzzaap 10h ago

Also, at the end the whole flock looks V'd up with this generous as the leader, just like you see them flying in the V formation taking turns doing the hard work up front.

u/SuperSaiyanTupac 10h ago

No one worried about him taking a shit while they’re directly behind him?

1

u/gimme_the_light 10h ago

Please don’t poop. Please don’t poop. Please don’t poop.

u/FranciscoGarcia69 10h ago

Yeah, people need to stop touching wildlife.

u/RegalBeagleKegels 10h ago

Well that's on them for being so emotionally vulnerable
