You wouldn't think something with the size and shape of a giant, mobile afro would be that adept at avoiding things.

quote: How the heck did sheep survive without humans to shear them
They didn't. Non-domestic sheep-like animals shed their coats, if I'm not mistaken. The domestic sheep has been bred by humans to produce a coat that must be shorn (stronger, longer fibers=better wool for yarn, etc.)

PSI, one of the New Zealand articles notes that another shepharder has saved a chunk of wool he took from a ewe who'd avoided being sheared for seven years. She was described as "stumbling" and "pretty blind" from the wool in her eyes.

Let's cut this off right at the root. Such a hairy situation requires much more delicacy, people.

I hate coming upon a pun thread after all the good puns have been taken! I'd just steal somebody else's, but if I got caught I'd have to go on the lamb.
Ha! Am I a card or what?

Wow, I bet that sheep is going to feel so cold when it loses all that extra isullation. You just klnow after this shearing he is going to be so embarrassed I bet all the sheap ladies really dig the guys who can avoid being sheared. I feel for the guy, especially as I am so often tol;d to get a haircut, and shave.

Huh. Well, sndrake, most of those puns had alredy been made, so if you were trying to take a shot at the people who originally made them by calling them baaaad, I expect you at least grazed them.
Okay, that one was a stretch, but how else would you work "graze" into the thread?
