Goat t-shirts for sale

You gotta admire creative entrepreneurs. They see an opportunity, and they take advantage of the moment. And often, they have a sense of humor.

In recent weeks, the Northwest Florida Daily News has published a couple of stories about a goat in the Mossy Head area that law enforcement officials say expired after it was sexually assaulted by a man.

A bar in Crestview -- Gecko's -- is now selling t-shirts for $10 apiece that are clearly in reference to the goat incident. The back of the t-shirts shows a cartoon goat with a goofy look on its face, along with the saying, "What happens in Mossy Head stays in Mossy Head."

Here's a photo:


The idea man behind the t-shirts is John Whitley of Fort Walton Beach. Mr. Whitley said it's just something he and a couple friends decided to do for fun. He also wants people to know that he's an animal lover, and the t-shirts aren't meant to suggest that mistreatment of animals is OK.

So far, about 100 people have purshased t-shirts, and Whitley and friends are printing 200 more of them. They're also creating a Web site that should be operating by this weekened called getyourgoattees.com.

And now you know.
