KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have
sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god,
following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the
carrier said Tuesday.


Which has, apparently, made them the *butt* of many jokes. It is only
natural that the sky god would want to horn in.

But maybe there was a better reason for sacrificing the goats. The way
I herd it, the maintenance crew came out to find that someone had been
chewing on the wiring of the Boeing plane. They lined up all the
suspects: the goats, a Brahman bull, and some chickens. The only
witness was a rabbit, so they trotted him down the line. The rabbit
stopped at the goats and nodded at them. The goats nervously claimed
that they didn't do it, but the crewman said, "Hare's looking at you,
kid."

And now, since I will be banned for a few days -- see you all
later. :-)
