Youngest Goat to Circumnavigate

As you can see, there are also goats working in the boating industry. This youngster is training as a dockhand, at Reedsville VA.

stolen ideas

Hi,

I feel I must warn you that for some time now someone has been trying to steal your (ours) ideas - just click at European PT Cruiser Forum and you will see that the hottest thread there is on a 16 y.o. trying to do exactly what we envisioned for OUR GOAT.

I think we better start looking for sponsors and get the thing going or else the other young thing will simply steal our project, go for it and make it first.

Everybody: which companies should we ask for sponsorship?

I thought of the following potentials:

B&Goat,
Mount Goat Rum,
Goat & Olufsen,

We could also try to get the honorary patronage of the City of Goathenburg, Sweden - they are a sailing nation them vikings, and they love goat cheese.

What started out as kidding has gotten a bit long in the tooth. You can't milk a pun this long without sounding cheesy and fetad. If the goat (affectionately "Cabrito") wants to earn his chevrons as a sailor, so be it. Stop trying to curry favor with the goat lobby. If Cabrito succeeds, we'll toast him. If he fails, I say let him stew!

Goat Golf Joke

A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing. He is on the second hole when he notices a billy goat standing next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Baahh. 9 Iron" The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. " Baahh. 9 Iron."

He looks at the billy goat and decides to prove him wrong, puts his other club away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked.

He says to the billy goat, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky goat, eh?" The billy goat reply's " Baahh. Lucky goat."

The man decides to take the billy goat with him to the next hole. "What do you think goat?" the man asks. " Baahh. 3 wood."

The guy takes out a 3 wood and Boom! Hole in one. The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the billy goat, "OK where to next?" The billy goat reply, " Baahh. Las Vegas."

So, they go to "Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK goat, now what?" The billy goat says, " Baahh. Roulette." Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks, " What do you think I should bet?" The billy goat replies, " Baahh. $3000,black 6."

Now, this is a million to one shot to win, but after the golf game, the man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across the table.

The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel. Once in the hotel room the man says "Goat, I don't know how to repay you. You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful." "Just name it and it is yours." The billy goat replies, " Baaah, Kiss Me."

He figures why not, since after all the goat did for him, he deserves it. With a kiss, the billy goat turns into a gorgeous 15-year-old girl.

".... And that, your honor, is how the girl ended up in my room."



What's for Dinner?

The young couple invited their elderly pastor for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having.

"Goat," the little boy replied.

"Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"

"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner.'

uh guys..you are crossing the line. If I understand correctly you are implying a goat with a 16 y/o or a dirty goat with a 16 y/o.... maybe I hitched my wagon to the wrong star.
