Money vs. Goats
Post: 1
Posted Oct 15, 2002 by Doc
Money should be substituted by goats,ladies & gentlemen, and
here are my arguments:
1.If Bill Gates owned 3.5 bln goats he would've been much more
interesting person.
2.St Paul would've make utter fool of himself if he said "The love
of goats is the root of all evil"

P.S. Excellent entry, most illuminating.

But I LIKE goats!

They are self-willed and cynical little buggers, in much the same way that cats are. My gran used to keep them when I was a wee nipper, and I never could understand the deities preference for sheep, which (as Terry Pratchett points out in 'Small Gods') are stupid and docile...

Glad you liked the entry. For all the humour in it, it is not a joke.

Of course it isn't, that's why Iliked it.Every major non-natural di-
saster can be traced back to somebody's greed. And I'm very
serious about bartering. Goats were just a metaphor-a very li-
keable one, too.
