Honk a silly goose in this economy shirt
The other day, I was scrolling through the endless feed, you know, just aimlessly browsing like we all do, and I saw it: a graphic tee, bright yellow, a cartoon goose honking, and the words “Honk a silly goose in this economy.” It struck me as absurd, truly. My initial reaction? A chuckle, followed by a slight, almost uncomfortable recognition. Because let’s be honest, haven’t we all felt a little, well, silly in the face of bills piling up, gas prices that make your eyes water, and the general feeling that things are just…a lot? It’s funny how a simple shirt can become a mirror, reflecting back the shared absurdity of the present.
Honk a silly goose in this economy shirt- About us
I thought back to my own financial struggles lately – that leaky faucet I keep meaning to fix (and the potential bill for a plumber!), the groceries that seem to cost twice as much as they used to, and the ever-present worry about future security. Then, that goofy goose popped up and the phrase, with its inherent silliness, kind of soothed that underlying panic, almost a gentle poke at the craziness of it all, I suppose. It felt like a small rebellion, a way of saying, “Yeah, this is tough, but we’re going to honk about it anyway.”

There’s something inherently human in finding humor in hardship, don’t you think? Like, it’s our natural coping mechanism. I remember when my car broke down last year, right before my rent was due, and how utterly stressed I became. I seriously considered selling all the furniture that I own to survive, but the situation was so ludicrous that I ended up laughing as I was dealing with it. The goose shirt, in its own small way, captures this spirit, this ability to acknowledge the struggle and then choose laughter.


It reminded me of my friend Sarah, who always finds a way to crack a joke, even when things are falling apart. She’s got this knack, the ability to find the humor in any situation, and it just makes everything seem a little less daunting. Maybe that’s the point of the shirt, the message: to not let the weight of the world completely crush your spirit. To embrace the silly goose within.
Description for Honk a silly goose in this economy shirt
Considering actually buying the shirt, I figured, why not? It’s kind of a statement, right? A silent nod to everyone else struggling, a beacon of absurdity that hopefully brings a smile. Like some weird, wearable form of solidarity. I can picture myself wearing it to the grocery store, perhaps, or even just lounging around the house on a Sunday, and feel at least a tiny bit less alone. I think I will order it.


In these times, when it feels like everything is a battle, the idea of embracing the absurd, of choosing to honk instead of panic, feels incredibly appealing. That goofy goose on a yellow shirt? It might just be the perfect little reminder to keep my own silly goose spirit alive.

Money well spent
Heavy cotton material. Very sturdy. Husband is well pleased and feels they are very durable. He says that’s what a man’s tee should be. This a repeat purchase due to his satisfaction with the shirts.
