tough times for goats


"A British army regiment's ceremonial pet goat was demoted in disgrace after it marched out of line before a host of international dignitaries during a parade to mark Queen's Elizabeth II's birthday, a military spokesman said Saturday."

"Captain William Rose, a soldier present at the parade, said the goat 'was trying to headbutt the waist and nether regions of the drummers.'"

Bad day for the goat, although it still gets to eat its daily allowance of cigarettes.

the drummers probably deserved it, though, let's be honest.

That's probably true. I guess I never did tell you what Jason and Brad (both playing quads in our high school marching band) yelled at Brenda (our drum major) to make her cry, but if there had been a goat trying to headbutt the waist and nether regions of the drummers, it would have gotten a commendation instead of being demoted.
