Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big hole. "Wow . . . that looks deep."... "Sure does . . . toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is.".... They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait . . . no noise..... "Man. That is REALLY deep . . . here . . . throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise."..... They pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait . . . and wait. Nothing. They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey . . . over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss that sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise.".... The two drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as it's legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished with what they've just seen . . . Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over.... "Hey . . . you two guys seen my goat out here?".... "You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!".... "Nah", say the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie."

R.I.P. SUDAN’S HARRIED GOAT - - - Friday, 4 May 2007, 10:40 GMT 11:40 UK - - BBC NEWS - - SUDAN'S MARRIED GOAT has, mercifully, gone to the heavenly farmyard, released from its suffering as a beast of burden. The goat, known as Rose to close friends, became a web phenomenon when it was reported that she had been "married" to a Sudanese man Charles Tombe. The wedding was enforced by elders after a drunken Tombe was found taking advantage of the poor animal. He was also made to pay a dowry to Rose's original owner. The elders hoped to shame Tombe, though did not spare Rose's feelings in doing so…… Rose found supporters around the world who, thanks to the internet and particularly this website's "Most E-mailed" function, kept her plight in the public mind for much of her short marriage. Friends would joke about how she had reached the end of her tether, about whether the couple would have any kids, and if they did, whether they would employ a nanny. Others pointed out that the tale got their goat, or wondered whether Tombe had become a "goatee".,,,,,, Though forced into human institutions, Rose remained a proud goat to the end, doing what all good goats do and eating anything she could find. It was this, ironically, which led to her demise - she choked after eating scraps of a plastic bag…… Joking aside, she is actually survived by a male kid, evidence that despite her troubled past she found personal fulfillment with her own kind. Her human "widower" is perhaps wisely not commenting…… No flowers. ……………… Some of the comments to this story were sort of, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll, goatish in nature but here they are: Bleated condolences. - Mitchell Harvey, London ----- Another victim of the nanny state...- John, Canterbury ----- You're kidding.... - Stephen Bridge, Glossop, Derbyshire ----- A cheesy story, clearly thought up on the hoof and a distraction from the mountain of more important issues affecting kids today. The BBC should be skinned for acting so beastly. I'll get me goat. -Ali, Glasgow - ---- Ewe will be sadly missed.. - Max, Manchester ----- Did the aticle mean 'scape goat' rather than 'goatee'? - Melissa A, London, UK ----- Goodbye, Sudan's Rose... - Jamie, Bury St Edmunds -------- Maybe Rose could live on as the mascot of the no-more-plastic-bags campaign. - Nina, London --------- Eeewwwwwwwwwwwww –Daniel ------ Goat to a better place - Adam Spurrier, Birmingham ------- Gone, but not forgoaten - Tom OConnell, Nowmanton, West Yorkshire -------- Gruff justice. - Craig Thomson, Livingston, Scotland ----------- Ewe people have goat to start taking this sort of thing more seriously. - Tom, Sheffield --------- It was very sad to have herd the ram-ifications, butt the motto of the tail is not to get horny with your goat. - Jonathan Hall, Magor, South Wales --------- This story is udder rubbish. - Gotang, London ------ Hoof-ought this was a good story - Adam, Darlington………….. YOU GOTTA HAND IT TO THOSE BRITS, THEY DO HAVE INTERESTING SINSIS OF HUMOR….. Written by
