Stranded California Man Too 'Embarrassed' To Use Phone
Brian "Goat Man" Hopper, spent five days stranded on Roe Island, north of Concord in Suisun Bay, because he was too embarrassed to phone for help. Hopper lived off vitamins and native plants while trying to repair his inflatable raft. "I was embarrassed to be stranded on an island," Hopper said. "I thought I could fix my boat and make it to land ... I didn't want to spend the taxpayers' money to have the Coast Guard come rescue some stupid guy." After almost a week he finally gave up and called a cousin for help. No word on what makes Hopper the "Goat Man."
There was an old Welshman who was walking with his grandson. Presently, they came upon a wall.
“Ye see that wall, there?”
“Yes.”
“I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built twenty others just like it. But do they call me the Hugh the Wall Man? No."
They continued walking on their way...
“Ye see that barn, there?”
“Yes.”
“I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built thirty others just like it. But do they call me the Hugh the Barn Builder? No."
They continued their walk until they came upon a house...
“Ye see that house, there?”
“Yes.”
“I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built fifty others just like it. But do they call me the Hush the House Man? No."
"But see if you SHAG JUST ONE GOAT!”
