No, you misunderstand. The machete is to hack yourself into a position
where you can use the chainsaw to defend yourself against the goat.
Clearly, you have never owned a goat - they don't need no stinkin'
chainsaw.
An animal with a malevolent sense of humour is the goat. They simply
humiliate you instead. Imagine me being bowled 'a over t' down a hill
in my pyjamas first thing in the morning - and I swear I heard the damn
thing laugh.
