> Some beef comes from cows. It’s older meat, so it’s tougher, so cows become ground beef and beef stew. You didn’t think they just buried old Bossy, did you?

You mean she’s not buried with full honors as befit a cow that dedicated it’s bovine life to making sure our children have healthy teeth and bones? 😕

☹  
Poor ol’ moo cow.

Sadly, [this poem](http://www.angelfire.com/nj/cowsnudderthngs/cowpoetry.html) is not by me…  
**Oh Sacred Cow**

If you ask me  
India is the place to be  
There cows are sacred  
none are objects of hatred  
There cows roam free  
like Povich, Maurey  
but are not married to Connie Chung.  
-G. Vincent

Being that I’m an Orioles fan, I was always proud that Cow Ripken was their spokesman for so long. Got milk?

Two cows were out in a field eating grass.

One cow turns to the other cow and says, “Moo.”

“Hey”, says the other cow… “that’s what I was gonna say.”

Always drink upstream from the herd, even if it includes NoClueBoy.
