That side has more birds on it

When ducks are flying south, they fly in a V formation. But one side is always longer. Do you know why?

There's more ducks on that side.

(As told by my father)

Scientists have finally figured out why, when geese flying in 'V' formation, one side is longer than the other.

That side has more geese in it.

While watching a flock of geese flying overhead in a V formation.

My Dad says, "Son, do you know why one side of the V is longer than the other?" I said, "No Dad, why?" He deadpans, "More geese on that side."

Why don't owls fly in a V formation?

Because if they did they'd be vowels.

Migratory birds can be fascinating. You often see them fly in "V" formation across the sky. On occasion you see that one side is longer than the other. It's a simple scientific explanation really.

There just happens to be more birds on that side.

Geese fly in a V-formation for aerodynamics, and when the lead goose gets tired he switches out his position. But one side of the V is almost always longer than the other. Do you know why?

More geese on that side.

My Dad and I were watching Geese fly in V formation

He looked to me and said, "Do you know why the left side of the V formation is longer?"

So I told him, "I can't think of a reason, why?"

So he enlightened me, "It's because it has more geese in it."

South for the winter

Any time we'd see birds flying in a V formation, my dad would say "Any time you see birds flying like that, one line is always longer than the other. Know why that is?" me - "Why?" "Because there are more birds in that line."

One of my Grandfather's (and Father's) favorite jokes.

If I was ever with my father and we happened to see a flock of Geese migrating north or south in their flying 'V' formation that they do, my dad would always get all serious and say;

-"Do you know why one side is always longer than the other?"

-"Why"

-"Because there are more geese on that side!"

My uncle got me in the car today.

Uncle: Don't you know how geese fly in a V formation all the time?

Me: Yeah.

U: Do you know why one side of the V is longer than the other?

Me: * Ponders about it for a moment or so * No why?

U: Because theres more geese on that side.

The geese.

Every once in a while, when my dad couldn't explain something, he'd say "Oh, it's because of the geese". This obviously made no fucking sense. So one day I asked him what it meant. This is his response:

"Well, have you ever seen geese fly in a big pack? They fly in a V-formation, right? But one side of the V is always longer than the other. Why is that? Simple, there's more geese on that side. There's no real explanation for it, it's just because of the geese".

Damn it, Dad....
