Goat humour for Christmas
Howard Lake | 5 January 2009 | Blogs
My favourite Christmas card this year was unusually not a charity card. But it did have a charity theme, and made me laugh.
Under the headline ‘Christmas’ two pen and ink characters talk. “D’you get any good presents?” asks one.
The other replies: “Yeah, me Aunty Jean got me a goat, but they delivered it to somewhere in Africa… unbelievable”.
I reckon that would sit very well in quite a few charities’ Christmas card catalogues. Anyone brave enough for some gentle self-mockery?
If you’re interested, it came from

although, since it was published in 2006, it’s not listed on their site.
