Goat in Trunk

What the heck?

A woman came into the Tires Plus in Winona just before noon, asking if the shop had time to replace a belt.

Prusci started the paperwork.

“Oh, by the way,” the woman said, “I have a goat in my trunk.”

Prusci didn’t think he heard her right.

“A what?”

“Yes, a goat,” the woman said. “And it’s alive.”

She planned to butcher the animal later but was passing through Winona on her way to St. Paul when the car broke down, Prusci remembered her saying.

The woman, and a man and child who were waiting for her outside, left while Prusci and other workers began the repairs.

After about 10 minutes, they could hear the goat crying.

“We cracked open the trunk, you know, so it could breathe,” Prusci said. “And sure enough, there it was. It kind of poked its head up.”

The goat had been painted Vikings purple and gold. Shaved into its side was the No. 4 - the number of Brett Favre, who was making his Vikings debut later that night in a preseason game in the Twin Cities.

The goat was lying on its side, tied at its feet. Prusci says it had some pretty big horns.

  3. That is the funniest thing I have read in weeks.  For the record I have had goat on the barbecue.  It is not that bad, similar to mutton.

  6. How sick. I’m not some dopey vegetarian, I love meat.  And I really like Bret Favre.  But this woman has a serious problem.

    I hope that the child with her can overcome such a horribly misguided person as this woman.
