Sleaper

[I Sting Your Face!]

While out walking one day a man came upon a hole in the middle of a field. Curious to know how deep it was he threw in a stone and waited, hearing nothing he picked up this large railway sleeper and threw that in.
At that moment a large goat started to charge toward him across the field.
Terrified, the man leapt over the hole but the Goat, unable to stop fell in.
On his way home the man told the farmer about the hole and its potential danger to children.
"Dont worry." said the farmer "I put a large goat there to scare away intruders."
"But what if the goat fell in?"
"It cant." Said the farmer. "I tied it to a railway sleeper."
