Cow Bling

Every spring during round-up, each cow is given a new red ear tag–cow bling.  The lower the number, the higher the cow’s status.  Sue was given number 14– not bad out of 310 . . .

Wrong Goalkeeper

When Ernest told his beer drinking buddies he had applied for and been rejected as goalkeeper for the U.S. Football ( Soccer) team for the World Cup, they all laughed and pointed out you had to be quick, lithe, and agile to be a winning goalkeeper.  Once the U.S. was out, Earnest was quick to point out to his buddies that their theory on quick, lithe, and agile versus bulky hadn’t worked out all that well, had it . . . ?

No Thanks

When asked to go to the Mardi Gras in Galveston, Julius politely declined. Last year, working on the theory that a man’s (or cows) reach should exceed his grasp, or what is a heaven for, he had gone.  Unfortunately, his horns exceeded the usual reach, he had gored thirteen dancers in the twist contest, and he was still paying damages . . .

New Egret

The deal had been simple, Brian (large, brownish red) agreed to give Tiffany (small, white, yellow beak) a free ride and all the bugs she could eat, but clearly she wasn’t “Takin’ care of business”.  For proof, he showed her his left shoulder and side.  And he was tired of her snide remarks like “Don’t let it bug you” as well . . .
