Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat
BBC News ^ | February 24, 2006

Posted on 02/28/2006 9:29:39 AM PST by billorites

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.

From intro to a Tom Lehrer song:


In Old Mexico
(From the album "EVENING WASTED WITH TOM LEHRER")
http://www.song-teksten.com/song_lyrics/tom_lehrer/evening_wasted_with_tom_lehrer/in_old_mexico/

Now, I'm sure you're all aware that this week is national gall-bladder week. So as sort of an educational feature at this point I thought I would acquaint you with some of the results of my recent researches into the career of the late doctor Samuel Gall, inventor of the gall-bladder. Which certainly ranks as one of the more important technological advances since the invention of the joy-buzzer and the dribble-glass. Doctor Gall's faith in his invention was so dramatically vindicated last year, as you no doubt recall, when, for the first time in history, in a nation-wide poll the gall-bladder was voted among the top ten organs. His educational career began interestingly enough in agricultural school, where he majored in animal husbandry, until they caught him at it one day.

Whereupon he switched to the field of medicine in which field he also won renown as the inventor of gargling. Which prior to that time had been practiced only furtively by a remote tribe in the Andes who passed the secret down from father to son as part of their oral tradition. He soon became a specialist, specializing in diseases of the rich. He was therefore able to retire at an early age. To the land we all dream about, sunny Mexico of course. The last part of which is completely irrelevant, as with the whole thing I guess, except, it's a rather sneaky way of getting into this next type of popular song which is one of those things about that magic, and romantic land south of the border.

"So, kid, doesn't bother you that you're mother is having sex with a goat?"
"Naaaaaaah."

Hey, on the bright side, his wife can't be offended when he calls his mother-in-law an "old goat."

Man must have been really short if he fell off the back of the goat. Hope he didnt hurt himself in the fall.

I hear goats aren't good in the kitchen but are experts in lawn care.

You design the most ornate mosques in the country, but they don't call you "Alifi the Architect"; you build massive suspension bridges over the Sudan river to connect cities and allow commerce, but they don't call you "Alifi the Bridge-builder"; you create the most beautiful mosaic murals in all the country so that people travel to your village from all across Africa just to see them, but they don't call you "Alifi the Artist". But get caught just once humping a goat...

I guess I messed up the joke by getting the name wrong. It would probably be better with his first name instead of Mr. Tombe, but here goes with the corrected version:

You design the most ornate mosques in the country, but they don't call you "Tombe the Architect"; you build massive suspension bridges over the Sudan river to connect cities and allow commerce, but they don't call you "Tombe the Bridge-builder"; you create the most beautiful mosaic murals in all the country so that people travel to your village from all across Africa just to see them, but they don't call you "Tombe the Artist".
