At least the goat's not seducing anyone like those strumpet goats in Sudan.... My favorite part....

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

Alright, y'all, draw a picture--a very vague, indistinct picture--of this in your mind... What the hell else can it look like? More than that... What did he expect the guy to say??

I can’t read these comments anymore!

I have never laughed so much in my life.
Much better than the comics.

“My eyes are dim, I cannot see, I have not brought my specs with me”.
HA! HA! HA!

Africa is called the “dark continent” for a good reason, and it has nothing to do with skin color.

For the first time I am speechless!

I have been laughing so hard and there is no way I can top the wisdom found on this page.

So….I will just be quiet. (But don’t get your hopes up, it won’t be for too long…;-D )

I’ll bet if they “water board” the goat, they will get an answer 1 way or the other!
Who’s to say the goat is a bed wetter and sucks its hoof out of sight of the other goats.

Goat = conservative?
That was my first thought.

4USA, I agree with you. I’ve been thinking the exact same thing.

I laughed at their ignorance until I paralleled their goat story with the goat stories proffered by Obamanites for the last 2 years. About 60 million of our population would be ranting “crucify the goat” if Obama said it was so.

Gee VMan, if I lived in Africa, I would be saying the same thing about the global warming kooks….witchcraft, black magic and the like….how could I expect to deal with them as equals.

VMAN you missed the fact that Africa is filled with Obama relatives too!
Why, you can’t shake a tree without family hitting the ground. Probly a shape shifter to boot.

Well said JohnMG. Africa IS filled with witchcraft, black magic and the like and these people, I’m sure, believe that this car thief turned into a goat. The sad part is that we in the USA are expected to deal with these countries as equals. How absurd!!!

I can’t top any of the above comments, but allow me to say this. Every attempt at self-rule by these people is fraught with such pitfalls. For those of you who are so inclined, get any of the books about Africa written by Robert C. Ruark and learn of the superstitious proclivities of those people. Though Ruark wrote mostly fictional novels, the African works were steeped in fact. His first-hand accounts of the atrocities accompanying the Mau-Mau insurections of the early 1950′s got him declared personna non grata in Africa, a country he dearly loved (to professionally hunt among other things) and to which he could not return due to threats to his property and his life. Goats figure(d) into all sorts of voodoo worship and hexes and so forth, and witches are believed capable of assuming many forms at will. Quite a complex set of beliefs–beliefs which the people are loath to discard.

I’m not the least surprised at this story, but even more inexplicable is the Africans’ bewilderment at the fact that the rest of the world regard their cultural hang-ups as crassly absurd. Sort of like “We’re not crazy–YOU people are the crazy ones.”
