There were these two guys out hiking when they came upon an
old, abandoned mineshaft. Curious about its depth they threw
in a pebble and waited for the sound of it striking the
bottom, but they heard nothing.
They went and got a bigger
rock, threw it in and waited. Still nothing. They searched
the area for something larger and came upon a railroad tie.
With great difficulty, the two men carried it to the opening
and threw it in. While waiting for it to hit bottom, a goat
suddenly darted between them and leapt into the hole!
The guys were still standing there with astonished looks upon
their faces from the actions of the goat when a man walked up
to them. He asked them if they had seen a goat anywhere in the
area and they said that one had just jumped into the mineshaft
in front of them!
The man replied, “Oh no. That couldn’t be MY
goat, mine was tied to a railroad tie.”
