Well, well!!

A vicar and his curate were playing golf on their day off.
The ball went into the rough – a slightly wooded area.
They went in search of the ball and came across a well.
I wonder how deep it is, asked the curate.
I’ll throw a pebble in and we’ll listen, said the vicar.

He did, but they heard nothing.

I’ll try a bigger rock, said the curate.
He did, but they heard nothing.
They then saw a railway sleeper and threw this in.
They still heard nothing.
The vicar heard a noise behind him.
When he turned to see, he saw a billy goat heading straight for him.
Swiftly, he turned aside and whoosh, the billy goat went straight down the well.
They still heard nothing.
A little later a farmer called to them from behind, “Have you seen my billy goat?  You can’t miss him, he’s tied to a railway sleeper.”
