Was I a Good Goose?

IT IS TIME TO GO. Was I a Good Goose? NO.

A white goose stands beside a tree and then asks Death, depicted as a hooded skeleton, whether it was a good goose. Death answers “NO,” then appears to cut down the goose with a scythe. The joke comes from the goose seeking moral approval at the moment of death and receiving a bluntly negative answer, making it useful as an absurd dark-humor reaction.
