April 9, 2011: The cow jumped over the...

coolcat · 04-09-2011, 05:33 PM

AP's Veronika Oleksyn reports from Laufen, Germany: When Regina Mayer's parents dashed her hopes of getting a horse, the resourceful 15-year-old didn't sit in her room and sulk. Instead, she turned to a cow called Luna to make her riding dreams come true.

Hours of training, and tons of treats, cajoling and caresses later, the results are impressive: not only do the two regularly go on long rides through the southern German countryside, they do jumps over a makeshift hurdle of beer crates and painted logs.

And when it breaks a leg, you can send it to the slaughterhouse instead of the glue factory. Much more profitable that way.

What kind of weirdo parents won't buy their daughter a horse, but will buy her a big, stinkin' cow?

Horses are expensive, cows are profitable. I am guessing that they already had cows.

They probably thought she would get tired of the thing after a week or two and then end up with another mouth to feed. Think, new puppy syndrome, but on a much larger scale.

Serious steak material. I could get a lot of burgers out of that beast.

Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It's over the cow I go. . . .

vocalperk · 04-20-2011, 01:57 PM

cracks me up to see this cow with an expression like an stodgy old lady catching air like that!

SPUCK · 04-23-2011, 05:37 AM

Yeah! No expression at all.

Maybe this is unexciting after the time she was involved with an oil lamp in Chicago..
