One of my favorite short stories from high school!
i had a guest professor tell a story about how a goat and a roman soldier were stuck in a hole after a battle, and how they were talking about how they weren't sure who should call out because if the goat called out and romans were closer, the goat would be killed and if the romans called out and the goats were searching the roman would be killed and about then the penny dropped he wasn't saying goat but goth and suddenly his story started to make sense
I mean, yeah, hi?
I went and got 2, then became on myself. Life is good 😊.
