We only have to be successful once. You must be successful every time.

snarge

snarge
The residue smeared on an airplane after a bird/plane collision. The snarge is generally all that is left of the bird. Every day numerous samples are taken off of airplanes and sent in for DNA testing to help map out what kinds of birds are colliding with airplanes. Both the FFA and military have a vested interest in these results.

From Urban Dictionary. I remember that word from the amazing Sullenberger incident.

Dead geese, you say?

They can use them to make those stupid $1000 geese coats.
