In high school, a friend of mine had to leave early to wrangle up his cows one day. His parents called and had him excused for the latter half the day. We still joke with him about it from time to time.

When I lived in a small town, population 67, this was a common occurence...

Obviously you haven't seen any of the killer coons around here that have decimated my chicken flock.

Hello Grant, glad to meet you.
Order of the Rubber Chicken sounds great.
Where is the best place to buy a good quality
Rubber Chicken. I bought one from a well known
kilt company in Scotland but the head fell off, then
the legs gave way. My own fault, I should have read
the instruction book.

Woah Grant, you proved to us all it really is impossible for us to stay on topic here at xmarks! But we have managed 5 pages and we are all still getting along. For now.

Well, she no longer falls twitching to the floor, pawing at her nose and whining ... so there is some improvement.

Took the groom and groomsmen golfing the morning after the drunken debauchery of a bachelors party (and the day of his wedding), and on the second green one of the groomsmen, a close friend of mine still suffering the ill effects of the previous nights refreshments, notice a giant (about 6-8 inch) set of hoof marks gouged across the green, and commented "Are those deer tracks?" Barely 3 seconds later a small herd of cattle came bellowing out of the woods nearby, driving us off the green to the safety of our golf carts, followed shortly thereafter by a couple farmhands, the cattle having broken through thier fence and entered the golf property sometime during the night, and we being the first group out on the course that morning (probably the other reason for feeling the ill effects of the night before). It became a standing joke every time we were golfing after that and saw cattle in the next pasture to razz my buddy by asking to him to keep an eye out for any rogue "deer" while we each made our next shot.
