Stolen Funnies
There were these two guys out hiking when they came
upon an old, abandoned mine shaft. 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 mine shaft in front of them! The man
replied, “Oh no. That couldn’t be my goat, mine was tied
to a railroad tie.”
