| geese fly in a V shape so the tired ones fly at the back and are carried on the currents, the strong ones fly at the front of the V, thus all working with perfect teamwork. |

And do you know why one side of the V is always longer than the other side? |

If you put a metal object into an electrical outlet, you will get shocked.

Electricity will jump 1 inch per 1000 volts.
Stay away from high tension lines, you will get shocked...to death.

It's a popular theory, but far from a proven one. Another theory that has a lot of credibility has to so with communication. Interesting little article here.
Excerpt:
Scientists have tried to find the reason geese fly in vees, so far not successfully. There are two theories on the table - aerodynamic efficiency and ease of communication.
.....
Observations of actual flights, however, show that geese are seldom in optimum position for maximizing lift. This has led other researchers to suggest that geese fly in vees to keep each other in view and optimize communication.

It's an optical illusion; the near side of the vee to you appears longer than the far side. Geese (and other birds) MAY fly in asymmetrical formations, they're not very good at counting (jejeje) but it's not a "rule".

I thought that that was 10kV per inch, not 1kV.
Edit: depends upon the condition of the air.

Unless I misunderstood the instructor in my Safety and Training class, and my industry certification twords being an Entertainment Certified Electrician and Rigging Gaffer.....maybe.
