2/6/2004: Cow unexpectedly walks through bank

Undertoad · 02-06-2004, 11:42 AM

Oh sure, in India this might not be unusual, but this one happened in Germany. According to this Ananova story, the cow escaped from a nearby wedding, where the groom had employed it as a joke to provide guests with fresh milk in place of champagne. And then it walked into a bank.

"The animal was a nice customer," a bank spokeswoman told Bild newspaper. "It behaved, was friendly and didn't even knock anything over."

That would be as opposed to a cow EXPECTEDLY walking through a bank.

Wonder if it made any deposits while it was there??

I love the quote from the spokesman, that is fantastic.

It wanted to see if they were using Gateways

I bet it was looking for the china shop.

So it could get funky with the bull?

Welcome to the Cellar, Olikat.

I wonder what a cow will do with a free toaster?

I hope it wasn't that bank from "Bowling for Columbine" where you get a free gun.
