joke time

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Two men were out hunting when the came across a massive hole in the ground. ‘Jaysus,’ says one, ‘I can’t even see the the bottom! What could make such a hole?’

‘I’m damned if I know,’ says the other, ‘and no notion of how to find out.’

‘Well, maybe we could throw something in and get an idea of how deep it is.’ As usually happens in jokes like this, his friend can’t see anything wrong with the plan, so they start looking around for something to throw in.

After a bit, they find an old tractor tire partly concealed in the bushes. With much huffing and puffing, they get it to the edge of the hole and at the count of three, heave it in.

While they’re standing there and listening for it to hit bottom, a goat comes tearing through  the shrubbery at top speed, and launches himself into the hole.

A little dumbfounded (because that’s not something you see everyday), the hunters are staring at the hole when a farmer approaches the two men and says, ‘I don’t suppose you fellas have seen a billy goat around here, have you? Can’t find the blasted creature anywhere.’

‘I hate to tell you,’ says one of the hunters, ‘but it wasn’t two minutes ago that a goat ran through here like the Devil was after him and jumped into this hole.’

The farmer thinks for a moment and say, ‘No, must be a different goat - mine was chained to a tractor tire.’
