Whose nest did the goose shit in?

'Have you seen the clicky thing?' I asked Numbers (the accounts guy) as I moved my fingers and thumb together in a clicky type fashion.

He looked at me, shook his head, 'You're such a fucking goose.'

And then it occurred to me, how come geese get such a bad rap?

See, I can understand people being called turkeys.

I mean, I'm not even going to start to describe them cause that's going to generate whole lot of traffic I don't care for.

I can understand being called a goat, because they eat stuff like rubbish and clothes. (Even though I am informed by a person of high goat authority that goats are, in fact, very intelligent and curious, not to mention good at climbing trees.) However I remain suspicious.

I was in the bowels of the museum yesterday surrounded by many many stuffed dead birds and I came across the toucan. I mean, seriously, who was on what type of acid when this bird was created ?

And how come nobody, when they're looking for the stapler and can't remember its name ever gets told, 'You're such a fucking toucan'?

Why is goose the euphemism for dipshit?
