Don’t Be a Goose

“Geese? No. Not this morning.” Mike laid on the horn. 

Some jerk behind him yelled. 

“Asshole!” Mike gave him the finger, inched through the angry gaggle, and sped off, making the interview with moments to spare.

The boss arrived five minutes late.

“Sorry about this. Goose parade across Main Street. Some bozo couldn’t keep his temper long enough to let them cross. Got ‘em all worked up.” 

He rustled some papers. “What do you drive?”

Mike gulped. “A red Civic.”

“Interesting. Saw that same blue Nissan out front. Only car I didn’t recognize.” He frowned. “Sorry. This position was filled.”
