Wild Goats
« on: July 03, 2008, 12:56:12 pm »

Two guys after hours of driving through the bush stopped to relieve themselves.
One of the guys finds an old mine shaft. Calling to his friend they wonder to its depth.  One man throws a stone in but doesn't hear it hit bottom. He then finds a larger rock to throw in but they still dont hear it land.  Together they drag an old railway sleeper to the hole and throw that in.
Suddenly a wild goat comes crashing through the scrub, seeing the men it throws its head in the air. Snorting and kicking up the dust it charges at the two guys, knocking them to the ground as it passes between them before jumping  down the mine.
Our two guys pick themselves up and brushing off the dust and dirt they curse. Goats must go crazy out in this heat they thought.   Soon they see and old farmer comin down the track.
Hello he calls out, have you guys seen a goat about.
Yes replied the men, a real wild one, tried to kill us, was a really cranky barstad, charged us then jumped down this well.
Oh, said the farmer carn't be my goat, he's a tame goat. Left him tied to a railway sleeper.

That's not funny,.... well it is, but supposedly it was based on a true story from Derbyshire - where there are lots of old mine workings.
I heard that story in the 70s when I was camping up near Edale.
