Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big deep 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 "Geeez.
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 its 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... have you two guys seen my goat out here?"
"You bet we did! Craziest thing I've ever seen! It came running like crazy and
just jumped into this hole!"
"Nah", says the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY goat. My goat was
chained to a railroad tie."
