Goats Bouncing on a Metal Sheet

What we have to look forward to in Goat Evolution ...

We had "Transistorised" goat, "Miniature Goats".. The billies came up to a little above yr knee, the nannies, about mid calf. One nanny had a kid on Christmas Eve, & was subsequently killed by wild dogs. The kid, a little nanny, was named "Holly" by my mother who brought her home, & bottle fed her. Mama fixed a box on the end of the couch & Holly soon learned to "Go" there. Except for once-I was layin' on the floor, back propped up against the couch. Holly trots over, hops up on my stomach, looks at me, whinnies, & LETS FLY w/a stream of Goat Pee....My Mom & sister were absolutely HOWLING w/laughter, I didn't quite know whether to laugh, cry, cuss, or Drop-Kick the damn goat thru the window... So, I just laughed, 'cause it WAS pretty funny after all..
 
This goat walks into a bar. Then he sits down and orders a beer. The bartender, amazed that this goat can actually talk, gives him a beer. The goat says, "What do I owe you?" The bartender stops and thinks for a moment. "Even though this goat is smart," thinks the bartender, "he probably hasn't been in many bars." So the bartender says, "That'll be ten dollars." The goat forks over the money and starts drinking his beer. After a few minutes, the bartender can't restrain his curiosity, so he walks back over to the goat and tries to strike up a conversation. "You know, we don't get many goats in this bar." The goat looks up from his beer and says, "Well, at ten bucks a beer, I'm not surprised."
 
Goats are pretty awesome..

i went to the fair and the goats where all on top of a dirt hill they had in the middle of their pen... looking at everyone like screw all y'all.
 
.....driving from Little Rock to Hot Springs, where you leave I-30 west and take US 70 west, used to be a fenced-in large plot of ground where goats ruled with a count of 25-30....the highway was cut through a thick layer of rock, leaving cliffs on both sides, and the goats were waaaay up the face of that rock wall standing on like an inch shelf of rock they had hammered out with their hooves.....

.....every day, or at night with bright headlights, there they were, way up that steep rock face....extremely athletic and balanced....I've seen sheep on the lower part of that steep wall, but goats get the best lookout spots way above any sheep....I wonder, is their main goal to be a lookout to protect the herd, or just to attain the pleasant views?.....

... Friend of ours also had Miniature Goats. One day his neighbor called, raising hell, saying his goats had got in her car, & stripped the seats, He told her she was crazy, there was NO WAY those short goats could jump & get in her car...Until he looked out his window, & one of 'em was atop his Sedan DeVille, politely stripping the vinyl roof off..Goats apparently take it personally if they CAN'T climb atop the most precarious place around..
 
If you are not overly fond of things caprine, try not to let this thread get your goat!

Seriously, who would-a-thunk that a thread devoted to goats could be as entertaining as this one? Thanks for the chuckles, folks! I never owned goats, but my best friend and neighbor when I was a kid had a few, and both my younger brother (miniature ones) and my sister (big ones) have goats. Come to think of it, my other brother might have had a couple, a few years back. If/when I retire and move to a place with a lot more room, I might get some. Not sure what it is with goats and our family? :dunno:
