Yes, thank you, Kevin.
The situation is so ludicrous that about all I can do is find humor in it. I'll remember the goat! :)

It's obvious... the answer is goat pictures.
This guy has pictures of senior people in compromising positions with a
goat. That's why he has no fear, and why nobody will touch him.
Glad I could assist you in figuring that out.
Someday soon, slap a pleased expression on your face and start humming
cheerily (something like "I'm In the Money") in the presence of one of
these higher-ups. When you get the inevitable "What are you so happy
about, today?" just smile and reply: "I've found where Joe keeps the
goat pictures. "
Cheers,
