Two Aussies were out hunting in the outback and came upon a
huge hole in the ground. They approached it and were amazed
at its size and depth.

The first said, “Wow, that’s some hole. I can’t even see the
bottom. I wonder how deep it is.”

The second said, “There’s an old gear box over there. Let’s
throw it in and see how long it takes to hit bottom.”

Despite it being very heavy, they picked up the gear box,
carried it over to the hole, counted one-two-three, and
heaved it in.

As they were standing there looking over the edge of the
hole, a goat come crashing through the underbrush, ran up to
the hole and without hesitation, jumped in head first.

They were so mystified by this that they stood staring at
each other in amazement and peered into the hole, trying to
figure out what that was all about.

Just then an old farmer sauntered up. “Say, you fellers
didn’t happen to see my goat?”

The first hunter said, “Funny you should ask. We were just
standing here a minute ago, and a goat came running out of
the bushes doing about a hundred miles an hour and jumped
head first into this here hole!”

The old farmer said, “Naw, that’s impossible! I had him
chained to an old gear box.”
