Two guys were walking through the woods when they came to a large hole in
the ground. One of them spit into the hole, bent his head to hear it hit, but
heard nothing. His buddy then picked up a rock and threw it into the hole,
bent his head to hear it, and heard nothing. This puzzled the men. They looked
around for something large to throw into the hole and saw a railroad tie.
They picked it up and threw it into the hole and bent to hear what would happen.
As they were bent over the hole, they turned and saw a goat run very fast
towards them and jump into the hole. As they were pondering this, a farmer
walked up to them and asked the men if they had seen his goat. They then
told the story of tossing things into the hole, when this goat just ran to and
jumped into the hole. The farmer shook his head and informed the men " That
couldn't have been my goat, because he was tied to a railroad tie!"
