Reminds me of the story about the pygmy cattle in New Zealand, which tend to congregate along the fault lines. One of the visitors who was there during a 7.2 magnitude quake noticed that all of the cows in the herd fell down during the quake while the bulls remained standing. She asked the farmer why. "Simple", he replied, "wee bulls wobble but they don't fall down."

Is there anywhere else on Earth where one can get milk from Bulls?

Dear fishonabike: but as in ancient joke about city girl learning to milk,
and starting with a bull, there's only a small amount of fluid in the pail.

This made me laugh out loud--something I heard on TV last night. I was channel surfing, and found something called Sports collisions and bloopers, or something like that. There was a horse race, and one of the entrants was Hoof Hearted. Now, I pronounce the word hoof with the same u sound as in the word pull. But the race announcer says it the other way: with the oo sound in the word tooth. Well, this horse won the race, and the announer calls, "And it's Hoof Hearted in the winner's circle"...

I didn't laugh. I didn't get it. And then I said it out loud and heard myself say, "And it's Who Farted in the Winnter's Circle."
Is that what made you laugh, Jackie?
Have to ask because sometimes I miss things. Often I miss things.
