Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

The speaker claims to have visited a moon where juggling goslings was a pastime and insists it happened. The emphatic fictional anecdote supplies an odd custom without making it real or endorsing animal handling.
