The mayor really got my goat...
SHARING a beer with a dignitary is an honour for most
people.
And, like many politicians, mayor Clay Henry III is not the
type to refuse an ice cold lager. But unlike his peers, Clay
Henry is a goat. So when Jim Bob Hargrove, enjoying a few beers
near the mayor's office was made to give the mascot a bottle he
saw red - and returned the next day to castrate the
animal.
Conclusive proof was found in Hargrove's fridge - in the shape
of one of Clay Henry's testicles.
Citizens of Lajitas, in West Texas, were outraged and Hargrove
was arrested. Sheriff Ronny Dodson said: 'It's a serious
Business to anybody. Clay Henry is one of the icons in our
community.' He was elected to the cermonial post two years ago,
beating a statue of a Native American and a dog called
Clyde.
