Splurge on Your Vacation: Lease a Goat!

Wednesday August 20, 2008
Yes indeed, with the Euro losing strength against the dismal dollar, maybe it's time for a little splurge. We've written before about leasing a car on your European vacation. But not once have we scribbled a single word about leasing a goat.

Until now. You see, just as there are benefits to leasing a car instead of renting, leasing a goat in Flumserberg, Switzerland can open up a world of benefits as well, including a Goat Brunch, according to My Switzerland. I'm not sure if that means you eat goat or you eat with the goat, because the supporting information isn't in a language I speak.

Notes: No, I don't know if you can rent a goat instead of leasing one. You can, of course, adopt a sheep in Italy's Abruzzo region. Perhaps you'll soon be able to rent a herd of gastropods in France. Did you know they're experiencing a snail shortage? That ought to get your goat.
