Two fellows came upon a mine shaft out in the hills.
"How deep do you think it is?" asked one.
"Gosh, I donīt know," answered his pal.
"Letīs drop a stone in and listen for it to hit the bottom."
They did so and waited, but there was no sound. They found a larger rock
and threw it in. Still nothing. A short distance away they spotted an old
railroad tie. Each lifted an end, and with great difficulty they dropped it in.
As they waited, a goat bolted right between them and jumped into
the hole. Still no sound!! They were standing there scratching their heads when a third fellow
came along and asked, "Have you seen a goat?"
"Well, yes, as a matter of fact," replied the first guy. "We just had a
goat run past us and jump into that hole!"
"Oh, it couldnīt have been my goat," said the third fellow. "Mine was
tied to a railroad tie."
