shootin’ the bull

It doesn't take much to amuse us.  Dh and I have been making really lame jokes over the latest local hoo-ha.  Now once upon a time neighborhood squabbles might have been over who left the trash can out front too long or who didn't mow their lawn.  The trash cans out our way are big ole dumpsters which are emptied twice a month however and the lawn mowers are often on four legs.  The trash doesn't phase too many folks but hey, if your 'mower' wanders over to the neighbor's it IS a problem.  Especially when it's a 2000 lb bull.  

Neighbor A moved his heifers to a new pasture last week.  Neighbor B's bull thought this was a swell move and wasted no time introducing himself – snapping several strands of barbed wire in the process.  Neighbor A  found this a bit too, um, 'neighborly' of him if you get my drift.  ; )  He complained vigorously in fact.  

Neighbor B has protested.   His bull's defense?  Neighbor A's heifers "enticed" him over the fence.  

Oh my.  I am doubled over again.  Give me a sec here…….

 (bwa ha ha ha!) Wiping the tears off my my face.  You know we are milking this one mercilessly right?  Like why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free…..    yeah.  I don't get out much. : ) 

Picture me now if you will:  bull to the south and strumpet cows to the north.  And we thought we moved to the country to escape this sort of disgraceful behavior.   

Seriously – I love it here.
