Ninja Nanny Still On The Run
Decatur, Alabama is still being plagued by a black nanny goat that will not be captured. The goat is mocking attempts by humans to catch it.
To the amusement of some doing the chasing, the goat's legend grew Thursday as police tried without success to take it into custody or just keep it off the road and away from traffic.
At one point, according to The Decatur Daily, the goat darted from bushes into a narrow space behind a shed as officers approached. When an officer stepped up to block her exit, the goat turned and darted back the other way, slipping past another would-be captor.
She head-butted a closed gate, knocking it open, and raced across Fairview Drive, where Tommy Alston, a sewer worker, saw the goat fly past and leave an animal control officer in the dust.
"The guy just threw his net (in frustration)," Alston said.
The goat disappeared around the corner of a house.
"She was on two wheels when she hit the corner. It was like she knew where she was going. The goat was like, 'Catch me if you can,"' Alston said. "It was ridiculously funny. The policeman was laughing harder than I was."
(Earlier post on the Decatur ninja nanny here). We believe that the ninja nanny can't be captured for a simple reason. She possesses superhuman, er, supergoatish, powers. We're pretty sure the goat escape artist is actually a member of The Goat Justice League named Ewedini. Remember, you heard it here first.
(Note: Yes I am aware that a ewe is a female sheep. It was too good a play on words. Just like "Wonder Ewe" was.)
