Two men were walking through the woods and came upon a big, black, deep hole. One man picked up a rock and tossed it into the hole and stood listening for the rock to reach the bottom. Nothing.
He turned to the other guy and said, "That must be a deep hole. Let's throw a bigger rock in there and wait for it to hit the bottom."
Then they found a bigger rock and both picked it up and lugged it over to the hole and dropped it in. They listened for some time and... nothing.
Again they agreed that this must be one deep hole and maybe they should throw something even bigger into it.
One man spotted a big log nearby. So they picked it up, grunting and groaning, and dragged it over to the hole. Then they chucked it in and listened intently... nothing.
All of a sudden, a goat came flying out of the woods, running like the wind, and flew past the men and jumped straight into the hole. The men were astonished.
They walked on through the woods and a little later met an old farmer who asked the men if they had seen a goat. One man told the farmer of the amazing incident they had just witnessed -- they had just seen this goat fly out of the woods, and leap into the big hole. He asked the farmer if this could have been his goat.
The old farmer said, "Nah, that can't be my goat. He was chained to a big log."
