You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.

Easy. First straighten out the slinky. Then, twist a loop into the end. Now, piss off the goat and have him ram me in the bum, shooting my upwards about halfway. as i fly throw the slinky and pray it grabs hold of something sharp toward the top. Then, climb out. simple really.
