The 100 MPH Goat

Two Missouri rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it.

The first hunter says, "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is."

The second hunter says," I don't know, let's throw something down and listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom."

The first hunter says, "There's this old automobile transmission here, give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see".

So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three, and throw it in the hole.

They are standing there listening and looking over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them.

As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole and with no hesitation, jump in head first.

While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up.

"Say there," says the farmer, "you fellers didn’t happen to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?"

The first hunter says, " Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' about a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this hole here!"

The old farmer said, "That's impossible.

I had him chained to a transmission!"

And now I know how the expression "got my goat" originated.

Well actually got my goat had it origins in early Horse Racing Circles. Seems utting a goat in the stall with the horse keep it calmed down so it would get a good rest before racing the next day. So unscrupulous trainers of competing horses would bribe the stable boy to remove certain goats trying to assure those horses would have a fretfull night therby rendering less energetic or lessenig thier stamina in the race.

So the the defeated owner upon greeting the wining owners would say What did you expect, you got my goat.

So two Chinamen come upon this huge hole. One of them says, "I wonder how deep it is? . . . ."

[Niel Hoback]

It won't work, Joe. The Chinamen would sell the transmission for scrap metal. And eat the goat.

[Plymouthy Adams]

its good that 18 months later we can still have fun with this joke..

[Joe Flanagan]

It won't work, Joe. The Chinamen would sell the transmission for scrap metal. And eat the goat.
