Until one evening, when the farmer fell asleep in the pen with his goats, when he had a terrible dream, that after so many nights of neglect, his wife had journeyed away to another village, never to return.
The farmer, happy in his relief, immediately realized there was still work to be done, and so returned to the pen to tend to the goats, so that they might not fall behind in their debts, and would continue to have wine to drink, and meat to eat.
The man admitted he did not know how to lead goats, but that he wanted them in his own field within three days, and that the journey would cross many villages, a journey that usually took a man twice as many days—with or without a herd of goats.

 Billy Goat Tavern Review by Sean Parnell
The Cubs' loss prompted Billy Goat to send a telegram to P.K. Wrigley asking, "Who smells now?" Billy Goat allegedly lifted the curse in 1969 but the Cubs wound up blowing a nine game lead in September that year to the lowly Mets, who went on to win their first World Series.
The goat made its last appearance in 1998, a year that saw the Cubs win a wild card berth in the playoffs but then lose to Greg Maddux (former Cub) and the Braves.
The Billy Goat was even frequented by both Al Gore and George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign to prove that they were "regular guys." Next time you're in the neighborhood, I recommend that you stop by for a "doublecheezborger," a Billy Goat Dark and a bit of chat with the regulars.
