The young couple invited aged parson

The young couple invited their aged parson for Sunday dinner.

While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having.

“Goat,” the little boy replied.

“Goat?” replied the startled man of the cloth, “Are you sure about that?”

“Yep,” said the youngster.

“I heard Pa say to Ma, ‘Might as well have the old goat for dinner today as any other day.’”
