Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 14, 2021

How kind of you to tell your passengers what those animals are. /S

Hey look, there’s a telephone pole!

Cow.

Another cow.

Actually, I think that was the same one.

(Somehow, the bit of dialog from Twister seemed fitting.)

Tell it to Mr. Farnsworth…

meanwhile, don’t have a cow…

I will moo.

“Cattle crossing”

“Means go slow”

“That old bull”

“Is some cow’s beau”

Burma-Shave

But Aunty, you’re alone in the car!

Gimme a moo. Gimme another moo.

Why?

Same, plus HORSIE!! (there are no small children with me either)

And if you drive past “The Barn”, the bull will be standing next to the fence holding a sign that says “SAVE ME.”

Reminds me of the flying cow scene in Twister…

[Looking at her they’ll say] We know.

I always point them out as prime rib on the hoof. Yum!

As teenagers, my brother, and a couple of friends, and I used to go horseback riding, which entailed a trip out into the country. One day, one of the frequent pastures we passed was filled with cattle. Me, being the typical teenager (and for whatever reason), put my head out the window, and yelled, “Hey, cow!”The cattle all lifted their heads, and looked at us. That was, probably, typical bovine behavior, but, at the moment, for us, that was hysterically funny!

I hate to say it, she is the cow.

Aunty, a lot of us do that when we’re driving in rural areas. Natural reaction to growing up in the big city, and not being used to seeing cows on a regular basis.

The only concern your passengers should have is if you make your announcement, but in fact there aren’t really any cows there. If it gets to that point, let someone else take the wheel.

And horses!

“We’ve all done this, ‘cause we’re mature adults: when you see a cow on the side of the road, you stick your head out the car window and go, ‘moooooo!’ Like we expect that cow to be thinking, ‘hey, there’s a cow driving that car! How can he afford that?’” —Garry Shandling

And horses and sheep and goats…..

I would squeal, “Look its a MOO COW!” “HORSIE!”, “LAMBIE PIE”, “BIRDIE” while riding in cars with co-workers to remote sites. They would groan, and comment, “There she goes, AGAIN”. I don’t get no respect from co-workers.

Between my Aunt and I, one of us will point out the cows and the other notes how they are out standing in their field!
