This furry fellow is no doubt thumbing his hoofs at his fellow goats tied on top of death-trap trotros. Suckers!

While I'm tempted to write, only in Ghana, I sense that this freeloading goat would not be out of place across much of Africa.

A good friend passed this photo along. I recall seeing it somewhere online a while back.

Edit: It is from The Pale Observer--thank you!

Incidentally...1: NYC parking tickets processed in Ghana

I bet you didn’t know that if you get a parking ticket in New York City it is processed in Ghana? Yes. It’s cheaper and more efficient to outsource data processing of the parking tickets to this little West African nation than to process them in the Big Apple. If you did get a ticket, you probably don’t care about that. Anyway, AT Kearney ranked Ghana as No.1 in global outsourcing destinations in 2007.

I must admit that that really surprised me. Mostly because the power cuts out at least ten times a day; I just can’t imagine how the data processors do it. Generators, I guess.
