The Big Hole

[joesmokabo]

Two guys are out hunting, and as they're 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 transmission here -- give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see!"

So, they pick it up, carry it over, and count one, and two and three, and throw it into the hole. They're standing there listening and looking over the edge -- then, 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 jump in headfirst.

While they're 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?"

One of the hunters says, "Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes and jumped headfirst into this hole here!"

And the old farmer says, "Why, that's impossible! I had him chained to an old transmission!"
