Man Shoots Goat Because His Wife Didn’t Bring Beer Home

Posted 4/11/2008 10:45 am by Trace Sharp

There are some odd people in the world. There also some odd people in the world that when they make a threat, they stick with it.

Meet one Peter W. Mischler, a Wisconsin man, who had gone out hunting. When he arrivedgoat-ears.jpg home, he discovered his 22-year-old daughter on the phone. Apparently the young woman had not been taking care of the family goats and the animals were running amuck. She was on the phone with her mother and Mischler told his daughter to tell his wife to bring home some beer and if she didn’t bring home him  some hopps and barley beverage, he was going to shoot a goat.

She forgot to bring him his adult beverage.

And, as promised, a few minutes later the wife and daughter heard four gunshots.

Which leads us to one goat being shot in the name of lost beer.

Mischler was charged in Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.

Despite the immortal words of Cake,  which are “sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell,” we can only hope that this one poor goat found a place on a cloud in afterlife.

    Posted 11/04/2009 2:07 pm by Ron Hogan

    There’s one thing that’s fun about slot machines.  You put money into them, lights flash and bells ring, and if you’re lucky, you’re a winner and money clinks noisily into the winnings slot.  Most of the time, you don’t get anything but the lights and noise, but Bill Seebeck hit the jackpot.  Literally and figuratively.  […]

    Television changed 40 years ago, because Sesame Street first hit the airwaves.  Well, technically, November 10, 1969 was the first day that a gigantic yellow bird and his motley crew of assorted monsters, blind people, and general hangers-on first appeared on televisions around the nation, but this date is close enough for government work (or […]

    Humans and chimpanzees, from a genetic standpoint, are first cousins.  The difference between the two from a DNA standpoint is only like 1.2 percent of genetic material; all our other DNA is exactly the same.  It’s those few simple mutations, some of which are less than 5 million years old, that separate us from the […]

    A 35-mile long crack in the Earth’s surface, somewhere in the remote Afar desert of Ethiopia, will eventually become a new ocean.  Unfortunately for the drought-starved Ethiopians, it won’t become an ocean tomorrow.  No, it’s a slow process that will take millions of years, but it will become an ocean one day.

    Normally, Virgin England is a metal crafter.  He makes fantasy and exotic knives and blades, like the kind you see sold on late-night shopping infomercials, but significantly better because his are made of real bone, leather, and Damascus steel (even exotic materials like fossils and ray skin) rather than pot metal and vinyl.   However, […]
