joke Tuesday's offering

[Chris Wilson]

Two old buds are out hunting, and as they are walking along they

 

come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are

 

amazed by the size of it.

 

The first hunter says "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the

bottom.. I wonder how deep it is." The second hunter says" I don't

know, let's throw something down and listen and see how

long it takes to hit bottom."

 

The first hunter says "There's this old car gearbox

here, give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see". So they pick

it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three,

and throw it in the hole.

 

They are standing there listening and looking over the edge and

they hear a rustling in the brush behind them. As they turn around

they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to

the hole and with no hesitation, jumped in head first.

 

While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the

hole and trying to figure out what that was all about, an

old farmer walks up. "Say there", says the farmer, "you

fellers didn't happen to see my old goat around here anywhere, did you?"

 

The first hunter says " Funny you should ask, but we were just

standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the

bushes doing about a hundred miles an hour and jumped head first into this hole here!"

 

The old farmer said "Hell, some jokers loosed him off, I had

him chained to an old gearbox just back there ...."

Hmm, do you know I'm sure that joke was much funnier the first time round, in the 70s!

Too young to remember, sorry
