This could have serious ramifications if it ever caught on in Scotland.

    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.
  
  "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.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure, but a Scotsman might just do it for the dowry.



That's assuming Mr Tombo was willing!

But was the goat cute?????

I thought it was already common practice in Wales. Ahem!
...they were both common practices in Wales...

Hmmm.. I would have thought it was the men from Wyoming who would have to beware. I read the other day that state had adopted a new motto.

"Wyoming! Where the men are men and the sheep are nervous"

[Congratulations]

And here the goat was just looking for a casual, no-strings-attached relationship.

I think she would rather have been a bodhran myself.

As a packed Hull to Bridlington train stopped at signals, dozens of passengers stared out in amazement as Stephen Hall, a 23-year-old chef had sex with a goat.

Police were summoned by passengers on the train and two bystanders subdued the goat shagger until they arrived.

A vet who examined the goat said it has not suffered any long-term injury.

Yesterday, Hall, who is gay, admitted a sex charge involving an animal to Judge Jacqueline Davies. He is due to be sentenced on March 13.

That would be interesting to have on your criminal record. I hope chefs don't get security checks.

I'm wondering what the market is like for goat therapists ....

I shall achieve in time —
To let the punishment fit the crime —
The punishment fit the crime;
And make each prisoner pent
Unwillingly represent
A source of innocent merriment!"

(Well, maybe not innocent, as such...)
