String Cheese Joke

Latest joke on package of string cheese:

What does a goose take for allergies?
An anti-hiss-tamine!

OK... Maybe I'm slow, but I don't get it. I've never heard a goose hiss. Do they hiss? I've heard them honk quite a lot, but never hiss. Now snakes... snakes hiss. My cat has hissed before as well. But a goose? Why pick something so random? Even if they do hiss, that's not really the sound I associate with a goose. Should I? Why didn't they pick something like a snake which really does hiss a lot? *shrugs cluelessly*

Perhaps it is time for bed :-)

I've had geese hiss at me before. Nasty creatures... There are these big fat geese that frequent a local park, and they take off after you hissing and flapping their wings if you get too close. It's a shame... ruins the fun of going to the park if you've got to be on the lookout for nasty geese the whole time.

But I do agree that the joke just didn't make sense. I think a snake would have been a better choice of animal to be taking anti-hiss-tamines. ;)

Thank you! I was starting to get concerned. Odd string cheese. LOL Sorry about the geese...I can see why that would make it a bit of a downer to visit. Where I used to live there was a park with aggressive geese that scared a lot of people but usually they weren't too bad... usually you just thre the last bit of your food to get them going in another direction and then ran fast and they wouldn't hurt you. lol
