Two South Dakotans 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 at all, jump in head first.
While the dumbfounded South Dakotans are standing there looking at each
other, staring down into 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 out of the bushes doin'
about a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this hole here!"
The old farmer said "Why that's impossible, I had him chained to an old
transmission!"
