Blogger Mike Knowles, of Do Some Damage, recalls a trying professor who belabored the symbolism of a goat mentioned in just three lines of a play the class was studying:
“The goat was a symbol of evil, of the land, of repression. The only thing I ever learned from that lesson is that you can blame almost anything on a goat and people will buy it,” Knowles said.
“I kept my mouth shut and doodled while the goat got labelled an anti-Semite for seventy five minutes.”
