Instead of being a transportation engineer - I’ll be addressed as Farmer from now on! Just be glad you didn’t have to take Transportation Planning classes. Also known as Shepherding. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > Many are mooing “Excuse me” in a tone of voice that could easily double for “Get out of my way or I shall surely put something pointy into your loins”. “Loins” never fails to make me giggle. I think perhaps the next time I say “excuse me” and intend the other meaning, I’ll actually say it the other way. Ah, if only I had Buffy’s Mr. Pointy! ---

> [@Dante](#): > > Dante approached the questioning newcomer and made a small notation on her ear tag so that she would rendered upon arrival, and turned into cosmetics products for the rest of the Herd.
