This will make you laugh. I nipped out to the Greek deli during my lunch break at work today. Whilst walking along, I stopped and had a peek at the advertisements in one of the shop windows. The usual stuff was there..'Room to Let', 'Bike for sale' etc. However, one advert caught my eye which read...

GOAT FOR SALE:

Through no fault of its own, my goat Guy needs a new home. (No time wasters please)

The advertisement left a name and contact no. of course. I didn't know what to make of it really. I laughed, it warmed my heart, it made me curious. What struck me though was reading between the lines. Why did the owner want to get rid of the goat? Who on earth would own a goat in a large, industrial city like Sheffield? Surely by stating 'no time wasters' would surely invite some piss takers to call up. Anyway, I thought it was amusing to share.

Anyone else seen a curious advertisement like that lately?

I can't stop giggling! Poor Guy. The goat.

I remember hearing two interesting facts about goats:

1, goats can and will eat anything!

2, if you chop a goat in two, both halves will grow into new goats!

doctormcmeekle said:

THis is true of worms, not goats. A goat will grow into two goats if spliced from a genome.

What, like a garden genome?

doctormcmeekle said:

Exactly a garden genome will give rise to earth worms and human genome gives rise to tapeworm

Run to the hills!

My dad used to have a pet goat when he was little. One day it went missing and they had goat for dinner. He got to keep a nice goatskin rug for next to his bed though. Explains a lot about my dad actually... Lets hope Guy escapes a fate like this.
