What was the original one trying to go for? I get this joke, I just don't know what salt water and goats have to do with horror.
Goats like salt. The idea is that the goat will lick their salty legs, and won't stop until the skin is wearing away.
Oh. I thought they were going to be electrocuted and didn't realize it. I was confused by the sportsperson. Thank you for explaining.
It's a pun, since LeBron is the GOAT (greatest of all time).
I got it after reading the explanation, just before that I wasn't sure how he fit into my theory about the joke.
Thank you for the follow-up, though.
I don't get the joke 🤦
a torture method is soaking ones feet in saltwater and then letting a goat lick the feet until the skin wears away.
lebron James is often referred to as "the GOAT (greatest of all time).
in this joke they said "until they brought out the goat"
it's a word play
Oh, thanks for the explanation. Didn't know, are goat tongues similar to cats I guess.
