Goose-stepping

Leaving work today, I was at the always dangerous intersection and saw two Canadian geese waddling up to it. I cringed as they stepped off the curb and slowly started across the street. Although they seemed to want to cross diagonally, traffic prohibited this and they ended up following in the crosswalk, along with the people, many of whom were starting to grin. When the geese reached the opposite corner, they turned and started cutting across the street, pursuing their original target. It was as odd as it was amusing.
