| A pair of tourists were out in the
fields when they discovered an abandoned well near an old
farm house. Of course they're curious so they drop a small
stone into the well, but they never hear it hit bottom.
They search and find a larger rock and drop it into the
well but once again hear nothing. They decide they need
something larger and search the farm yard for a larger object.
After much struggle, they manage to drag a large railroad
tie to the edge of the well and drop it over the edge.
After several seconds, a goat tears across the yard and
without any hesitation, dives head first into the open hole.
The two tourists stand in amazement. About then a farmer
appears and tells them he is looking for a lost goat. The
tourists tell the farmer about the goat diving into the
well.
"That couldn't be my goat", the farmer replies,
"My goat was grazing in the field roped to a railroad
tie!" |
