Yes, geese. You only need 15 seconds for this one, though you’ll probably replay it.

This might not strike your funny bone the way it hit at our house, but if you laughed, then this little scene dispels the oft-quoted humor theory of surprise.

I’m sure humor scholar Don Nilsen has an explanation for this.
