SOFIA (Reuters) - Lightning killed an entire herd of 70 goats in central Bulgaria Thursday, but their goatherd escaped unharmed, civil defense officials said.

The herd was sheltering under a large tree during a summer storm when the bolt struck, killing all of them. "At least the goatherd managed to survive. He was under a different tree," civil defense officer Anastas Iribadzhakov told Reuters.

IRC, this is the scene in Caddyshack when the priest is struck by a lightning bolt when he cursed God for ruining his perfect game.

The goatherd was quoted as saying, "Man, Saturday nights around here are really going to suck."

But it must be okay if your 70 goats are under the other tree.

Must be a rule like, "Never eat at a place called "Eats", unless the only other place is called "Moms".
