Keeper of the goat

My boss's daughter bought him a screaming goat for Christmas. It's a little plastic goat that when you push it down it makes a screaming sound. It's supposed to be some kind of stress reliever. He brought it  into the bakery one day and told me I was the official Keeper of the goat. Throughout the day when he gets annoyed with someone or something he comes in and makes the goat scream.

Yikes, this is kind of weird! Interesting, though.

So it helps for him, but how does it affect you? I think it’s funny, but I don’t have to listen to it.

Ella said...

That's so funny !!!!
I think every boss should have such a goat ... LOL

I think this is great in a way. As long as the goat keeper isn't at fault. 😁

Sandi said...

Ha ha! Funny to see this. My boys got these for Christmas from their quirkiest cousin. 😂

I saw those online when I was shopping for a white elephant gift. Is it annoying or funny? I would think annoying lol.

Here's hoping the boss doesn't get annoyed too often or that could be annoying. ^^ Quite the conversation piece.

I've never understood this affection for goats and a screaming goat toy? Noo - doesn't he have an office to put it in? Can't imagine having to listen to that even once...

Ann said...

Ginny, I think the boss has been having fun with it though

CheerfulMonk, it doesn't affect me at all. I just get a good laugh every time he comes in to make the goat scream

Ella, yep, I think you're right

Anni, so far I have not been the reason for him making the goat scream

Sandi, it is a fun little gift and I think my boss enjoyed it

Grace, the advantage to not having great hearing is that I can barely hear it. He does have an office but I think he just wants an excuse to come in and visit us in the back.

My question is, are you allowed to use it when you are stressed???

Carol said...

What an interesting gift! I might like the goat myself, but I am sure everyone around me would tire of it's screaming. LOL!!

Jeanette said...

Did it really work to relieve stress or was it just annoying?

Pam said...

HAHA....I have a couple of Dammit Dolls.... THey don't make noise but I slam it on the desk, counter, whatever and yell dammit.
