Sorry I was speeding but the road had no goats on it (Update - Goat found married)

Bizzare as it sounds that was the defense used by a Swiss guy caught speeding in Canada.

The lack of obstructive goats on the road allowed him to reach speeds he had only previously dreamed of.

Yeah, you can't move up here for goats on the road. Something needs to be done, no ifs and no butts, and I'm not kidding. It gets on my goat.

I think the truth lies in the fact that he got a tiny fine is comparison to the one he would have got in his native Switzerland, a country that is well know for its rather draconian traffic laws.

I guess he just wanted to let rip for minimal risk (in terms of a fine), and the goats were his back-up plan.

I can picture it, as he nails to the throttle he's sat thinking "if it all goes wrong I can just blame the goats (oer lack of), yeah they should buy that"

If people start butting in with their goat related puns I m ay be forced to ram a large ball gag into the initiator (dann)'s mouth, I hat to sound like the black sheep of this thread but I personally don't want another 'Titanic switched at berth'.

A ball gag? Umm... exactly what kind of punishment would that be, dare I ask?

Seems like a very goat based theme to this weeks news

Why? Do you want some too?

P.s. I chose a ball gag in order to make oreder to make the pun work, if there hadn't been a potential to pun I'd have used a standard gag... and a blindfold... and maybe some handcuffs... and...

It's true what the speeder said, the roads of Canada are goat-free (in most places).
