Damn! You beat me to it! I was gonna say something like: “Isn’t it customary to tip a cow something like 15-20%?”

Oh, well.

Is it just me, or does a lot of this cow-tipping happen in Michigan?

I’m from MI. I have never questioned cow-tipping. It happens. Its stupid, but it happens. I go to school out of state and suddenly cow-tipping is for hicks. Sigh.

Or I may just be overly sensitive.

I was there in the early 70’s. (back when we rioted for social causes vs. beer)

Cow tipping?

Mid-to-late 80’s, wring. The only rioting going on at that time was CedarFest. Oy Vey.
