The Bold and the Baaatiful

In our continuing soap opera, the man who was forced to marry a goat is now a widower.
SUDAN'S MARRIED GOAT has, mercifully, gone to the heavenly farmyard, released from its suffering as a beast of burden.

Happier times

The goat, known as Rose to close friends, became a web phenomenon when it was reported that she had been "married" to Sudanese man Charles Tombe. The wedding was enforced by elders after a drunken Tombe was found taking advantage of the poor animal. He was also made to pay a dowry to Rose's original owner.

Rose is survived by her husband and a kid. There is no word on whether the family misses the milk.

I don't want to ask who fathered that kid??

I wonder if they have ruled out suicide!

Of course if I woke up and saw who i was married to and with no possibility of getting a divorce on my own I would probably swallow a plastic bag and kill myself.

Do all goats go to heaven?

The husband better not eat his wife.

I suspect foul play. Any news of an insurance policy?
