Bovine Depression

I guess life kinda sucks when you're a cow.

I know I'd be pretty unhappy as one, anyway.

"I guess life kinda sucks when you're a cow."

A friend of mine a few years ago said that it wouldn't be too bad being a cow. She said "You never have to wait in line for the bathroom, if you get hungry you can re-eat your breakfast, and every morning a nice farmer plays with your nipples."

All persons working with cows should be issued a sidearm to dispatch any cow to relieve its suffering should it attempt suicide but not die right away.

Yours,

Do we know for sure this wasn't a botched suicide ATTACK by a member of Al Cowda?

I've never seen a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.

Dean,
As a former dairy farmer, I can tell you, you might enjoy being a cow. Mostly they just sit around and eat. I never saw a cow get depressed. I never saw a worried cow. Cows take life a minute at a time. I don't think they have any concept of the future or the past. I think they just live in the present. They tend to be pretty laid back.

You might want to try life as a cow sometime.

...wow, this is what passes as news in NZ. Maybe you'd be interested in this story from a couple months ago? Caused quite a stir during the morning commute.

Yeah, but I bet the ones that are turned into leather pants have a blast in the afterlife.

Oho, you pitiful humans! Laugh now, but soon cows shall rule the world!

Bwahahahaha!

Bill, I don't want to horn in on your fun, but are you and Ralph going to milk this thread for a while?

It behoofs me to warn you I find puns very moooving, and when I start, I have trouble stopping, leather or not I want to!
