I bet the butcher he couldn't reach the beef on the top shelf, but he said the steaks were too high.

ClaudiaTherese,

Waddya think of those guernseys they roll patients around in? And those udderly ridiculous
things they make them wear when they ride 'em?

(Rawhide - fond memories - followed by the best rendition of "Stand by Your Man" ever - by the Blues Brothers.)

Truth be told, though, it's a perfectly legitimate pun, so I expect that my last volly barely even grazed you, sndrake.

Noemon, I should have expected after being braised by someone, I would then be roasted.

It cud have been worse.

PS - Isn't "legitimate pun" a contradiction in terms?

Noemon: a must-read --> Cows With Guns lyrics

quote:
Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one

He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue

...

He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
Cows with guns

Cows with Guns, one of my favorites!!!

Along with Werecow

quote:
There's a full moon in the pasture tonight
Hangs like a fine and polished pearl, so pure and white
The average guy finds so much beauty in its light
But I'm a werecow
Moo moo moo
I'm a werecow
Now I'm stuck

It seemed so innocent when Bossy bit my hand
I was just tryin' to milk her, but I didn't understand
That Bossy really was Pierre the handyman
He was a werecow
Moo moo moo
He was a werecow
Moo moo moo

By day I work the fields here on my daddy's farm
By night I roam the neighbor's place in search of corn
Chewin' my cud and tryin' to keep my udders warm
I'm a werecow
Moo moo moo
I'm a werecow
Moo moo moo

Cheeses people, these are the wurst puns I've herd in a long (horn) time.

The bull--er--droppings are piled up pasture forehead. The Udder-ly cow-ardly mewings are mooooving me to hoof it over to another thread. If I horn may way out of here, with the rest stampede behind me?

I thought Cow Pies were grass pies made for our friend the Cow?

If I made chocolate chip cookies in animal shapes, would the cow shape cookies be called "Cow Chip Cookies"

I might get flamed for this, but I suppose I should just bite the Bull et and post it.

In all seriousness, I've got some friends who raise beef cattle. They like to name the poor guys too. Last year we had a lot of meat from "Arby" and this year we've got something else, but I forget his name.

Many thanks to all who have posted hereford. I have just spent 2 days nursing a new calf through a rough delivery. He was presenting upside-down and is so big he had to be ratcheted out of his dam by the vet. This morning he finally learned to suck. I am sore and bruised all over. And his mother butted me in the head before I was convinced to separate them. She was punting him all over the place and beating him against a gate. Stupid mother. Anyway, we are all in prime condition this morning.
