A pair of tourists were out in the
fields
when they discovered an abandoned well near an old farm
house. Of course
they’re curious so they drop a small stone into the
well, but they
never hear it hit bottom. They search and find a
larger rock and drop it
into the well but once again hear nothing. They
decide they need
something larger and search the farm yard for a
larger object. After much
struggle, they manage to drag a large
railroad tie to the edge of the well
and drop it over the
edge.

After several seconds, a goat tears across the yard and without any

hesitation, dives head first into the open hole. The two tourists stand
in
amazement. About then a farmer appears and tells them he is
looking for
a lost goat. The tourists tell the farmer about the goat
diving into
the well.

“That couldn’t be my goat”, the farmer
replies, “My goat was
grazing in the field roped to a railroa
d tie!”
