Meet the GEEP!

Adorable little devil, it is an Irish half goat, half sheep, and its horns are coming out?! Wierd and rare.

Ironically the "Geep" has been used in the past as a method of educating investors about scam investments and get rich quick schemes.

I believe this was also done in the UK quite some time ago.

Whether it is actually true or not, who knows, personally, Paddy Murphy hasn't got me convinced.

It's adorable! Thanks for sharing!!!

Patty Murphy from Kildare, owns a pub and owns a sheep-goat. Ewe would think it's a sitcom. Maybe the good Lord will grant me a lottery win big enough to go over there and meet the little kid in person.

I have researched the odds of an ewe conceiving a geep naturally, next to Zero, but life always finds a way to push forward beyond our understanding of impossible obstacles. Sure, good ole' Paddy may be a scamster. He may be a farmer. He might be both. Maybe he faked the whole thing. However, it breathes and it runs. If it is a scam, it is a damn good one. No, it is a GREAT one, surely worthy of a wink and nod, maybe some pub, maybe some money. We all have paid for parlor tricks at some point in our lives.

I choose to believe LIFE, however improbable, always beats the odds. I like the longshot geep, whether real or not. It is ironic that we humans hope we ourselves are the worthy longshots, but we entertain cynicisms of a geep. Even if this little geep is fake, I choose to believe geeps are real. The homophone nature of "geep" does not prove a hoax. Sheep and goats, and their hybrid offspring possibility have been around much longer than investment scams called geep.

I do not have a stake in this reality or scam beyond speculation. I say "HELL YEAH!" to the possibility it beat OUR odds.
