If our lawn didn't just die off due to lack of water in the summer, I'd hire a team of goats, or should that be herd?  Sometimes when one drives onto the local expressway, there are goats on the hillsides chomping on the vegetation. They were hired specifically for that purpose.  It's kind of fun to see them there "working."

A man goes into a bar with his small pet newt called Tiny. “A pint for me and a half for Tiny, please,” he says to the landlord.

The landlord asks, “Why do you name him Tiny?”

The man replies, “Because he’s my newt.”
