Overheard on Facebook




MIKE D: saw goats climbing trees near Marrakesh today. I don't understand.
AD-ROCK : argon oil!
MCA: ? what kind of goats or trees were these?
MIKE D: they were white billy goats in what may have been olive trees, but I'm still unclear as to how they climbed. or if some Moroccans just put them there since it was by the road.
AD-ROCK: they're argon trees - read up on it - that's how the nuts are harvested and made into oil
MIKE D: what?! no wonder argon oil is so expensive.
AD-ROCK: yeah exactly, the goats regurgitate it and then they process it from there - super weird!
MIKE D: wow, I love this country.
