REALLY GOT HER GOAT: Cooking spray doesn't help get goats out of trees. That's the lesson learned by Alysia Krafel, 59, of Red Bluff, Calif. Krafel arrived home to find "King George", her 215-pound goat, hanging from an oak tree by a hoof, after apparently climbing up in the tree to eat leaves. "I sprayed Pam all over everything to try and grease it," she said, but that didn't help him get free. Krafel and a neighbor had to cut the tree down to release the animal. A reporter asked her if the goat learned a lesson from the ordeal. Well no, she said -- "He's a goat." (Red Bluff Daily News) ...Dumb reporter! Why didn't he ask the goat directly?

Mmmm, she could always have thrown rocks or other sharp objects at said goat, especially if it had a penchant for cliffhangers! :ranger:

This kind of thing is what happens when Goats tip-toe around high places... Cj, I hope you've learned a valuable lesson... not even PAM will be able to save you...

I'm surprised no one picked up on the name of the goat. Apparently, royalty runs in the goat family.

 

Here we have "King George" stuck upside down in a tree. And, we have our own hillside dwelling, "King CJames".

This is clear proof that other goats should follow my example, and always stay away from high places.
