Billy, the goat, called me the other day. He sounded pretty angry. I let him talk it out; he just needed to rant for a bit.

Billy had just been told by one of the elder goats that humans not only named a beard type after them, but they were making cheese and yogurt from their mother's milk.

He was disgusted by that.

He bleated on for fifteen minutes, telling me humans had no right to mimic goat faces with trimmed goatees. Besides, goats don’t refer to their faces with human names or mimic humans.

Although there was one old goat in Billy’s herd that had a striking resemblance to Tom Brady.

I had to correct him about goats imitating humans. When goats bleat, they sound like humans.

He was amazed that I would bring up something so trivial. I proved it by making him watch this video:
