“That’s One Way to get to the Center of the Earth”
Two Tennessee rednecks are out hunting, and as they walked along they came
upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and were amazed at the
size of it.
The first hunter says, "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is?"
The second hunter says," I don't know. Let's throw somethin' down there, listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom."
The first hunter says, "Hey, there's an old automobile transmission over there. Give me a hand, we'll throw it in and see."
So, they picked it up and carried it over and count one, two, three and
heaved it in the hole. They are standing there listening, looking over
the edge, when they hear a rustling behind them. As they turn around,
they see a goat come crashing through the underbrush, run up to the hole
and, without hesitation, jump in headfirst.
While they are standing there staring at each other in amazement, peering
into the hole, trying to figure out what it was all about, an old farmer
saunters up. "Say there," says the farmer, "You fellers didn't happen
to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?"
The first hunter says, "Funny you should ask, but we were just standing
here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' bout a
hunnert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this here hole!"
The old farmer said, "Naw, that's impossible. I had him chained to a transmission."
