goat romance

on AOL news today :

A Sudanese man caught having sex with a goat has been forced to take the animal as his "wife".

The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he caught another man, Mr Tombe, having sex with the animal after hearing a "loud noise", the BBC reported.

"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 told a local newspaper.

A council of elders ordered Mr Tombe to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars (£38) and keep the goat.

"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 said.

"As far as we know they are still together."

 

AOL aren't the quickest on the uptake, are they . When they say "the BBC reported", they actually mean "the BBC reported in February".

 

...in that case the first flush of passion has probably worn off by now and they may well have divorced...

 

No, he will be up to his arms in diy by now, only getting it at the weekend and having to entertain the relatives.
