Probably The First Man In The World To Marry A Goat
September 14, 2006
Not many people can make a smooth segue from a cute little snuggly baby-kuns to a man marrying a goat.
I'll do it here for you:
This guy? In Sudan? He was caught having sex with a goat. And then he was forced to marry it.
Quick! Cute picture of my niece to soothe you!
(Annabel is as shocked by this story as I am.)
What - that wasn't enough? You want more? Of the story? Gah, dude. You're sick:
Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat
A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.
They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.
"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.
Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. [Sounds like a bit of pre-Valentine's Day lovin' to me.]
"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".
Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.
"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

You crack me up! Where do you go to find a story about a man marrying a goat? I kept thinking of elementary school:
"I LOVE cheese?"
"If you love it so much, then why don't you marry it?"
"Maybe I will..."
Difference is that I never really intended to marry the cheese. Just eat my fill and move on. I know, I know. Very dishonorable...
