Two men were hiking through the woods when they stumbled upon an enormous hole in the ground.
They stopped at the edge and peered down into the darkness.
“Wow! That looks pretty deep,” said the first man.
“Deep? That thing looks bottomless!” replied the second. “Let’s throw a few pebbles down and see how far it goes.”
They picked up several small stones and tossed them into the hole.
They waited.
Nothing.
Not even the slightest sound.
“Good grief! That must be incredibly deep,” said the first man. “Let’s try something bigger.”
They found a couple of football-sized rocks and hurled them into the hole.
They waited again.
Nothing.
The two men looked at each other in disbelief.
“Okay,” said one of them. “If those rocks didn’t make a sound, we need something much heavier.”
Just then, they spotted an old railroad tie lying in the weeds.
“Help me carry that over here. If anything is going to make a noise, that monster will!”
After considerable effort, they dragged the heavy railroad tie to the edge and pushed it into the hole.
Down it went.
Silence.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a goat came charging through the woods at full speed. It raced straight past the two men, leaped into the air, and disappeared headfirst into the enormous hole!
The men stood there with their mouths hanging open.
“What on earth was THAT?” one shouted.
A few moments later, a farmer emerged from the woods and approached them.
“Excuse me, gentlemen. Have either of you seen my goat wandering around here?”
“You bet we have!” one man replied. “The craziest thing just happened! A goat came running through here like its life depended on it and jumped straight into that enormous hole!”
The farmer shook his head.
“Impossible! That couldn’t have been my goat.”
“Why not?” asked one of the men.
The farmer replied:
“Because my goat was chained to a railroad tie!”
