Would you rather have a Cash Cow or a Golden Goose?

The cash cow may be better for smaller, more regular payments. The life expectancy of a cow is roughly 15 years. The cash from the cash cow would probably need to be spent surreptitiously or laundered. Cows are not dangerous, but maintenance costs are relatively high.

The life expectancy of a goose can be up to 25 years. Better for irregular non-monetary payments. The eggs from the goose could be traded under the guise of family heirlooms. Geese are generally quite ratty and have been rumoured to break legs if angry.

Cows have killed way more people than geese fyi

Which one is better in the sack?

Ever tried getting a cow into a sack?

Is the goose itself golden? The name seems to imply that it is.

"Not to be confused with The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs"

i want a golden goose that lays golden eggs (and shits pure diamonds)

ah, well for the purposes of this quiz, it's the goose that lays the golden eggs. the cow just shits £20 notes.

gooolden geese, gooolden geese, quack quack quack

I want lucre pig.

what's not to get? who doesn't want to hear the soundtrack to a giant robot goose stomping down the street in celebration at having thwarted an insidious space attack?

Only gold has intrinsic value and is real money. Fuck your fiat paper scrip bovine! Abolish the Federal Reserve and institute a true National Central Hatchery!

Cows are more docile, I don't want a lot of fuss.

I'd rather have a diamond dog

^^^^

BOOM! Lock Thread.

bearotaur vs. gorillo anyone?

geese are assholes. cows are at least relatively chill and they also shit all the fucking time, so if you let it accrue you'd be rich in no time.

um, i think cash cows are milked, vg

it was posited upthread that the cow would SHIT cash so I'm just addressing the parameters I was given

if I have to milk the cow for money then fuck that bullshit :)

see?

I extend my apologies in hope they will be acceptable. but I would request that I might exchange the british currency shitting cow for one that shits notes I can negotiate without having to fuck around with a bank's foreign exchange desk. Why should they profit from my cow? And if it shits notes in consecutive serial numbers, this could cause suspicions I would much rather avoid.

valid concerns, imo
