Happily Ever After

Everyone knows the story of the farmer’s daughter. It usually has to do with a traveling salesman, a gingham dress, chewing tobacco, and a double barrel shotgun. A tale as old as time I’m sure.
This is a new take on that…

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.
