A man on his way home from the pub, decides to take a short-cut across a field. He's about half way across, when he notices this large hole in the ground. He looks down into the hole, but he can't see the bottom of it, so he decides to find out how deep it is. He looks around him, and finds a large stone, which he drops down the hole, and waits to hear the sound of it hitting the bottom. But there's no sound! He decides that he needs something a bit larger to make more noise, so he hunts around and finds an large piece of wood, and old railway sleeper in fact. He lugs this over to the hole, and drops it in. He waits, listening, but there's still no sound. At this point he decides to give up, and continues on his way across the field. Just as he starts, he sees a goat charging at him, head down, horns poised. The man decides that he's got no chance to make it out of the field, so he stands his ground, and just before the goat hits him, he jumps out of the way, and the goat plummets into the hole. Counting his luck, our man continues to the edge of the field where he finds a farmer, looking around. The farmer asks the man: "You haven't seen my goat anywhere, have you?" The man, feeling slightly guilts about the goat replies: "No, I haven't seen it. Perhaps it just wandered off." "No, I doubt that." says the farmer, "cause I'd chained it to a railway sleeper!"
