It's where it's at... On Sept. 8, 2011, an obese man snuck a gun into his Okaloosa County jail cell in Florida- by hiding it under his big gut! The Norwegian island of Svalbard, which lies halfway between Norway and the North Pole- is home to only 2000 people, yet it has its own Russian consulate! The sound of moo-sic! New Orleans jazz band The New Hot 5 performed a concert for a herd of cows in Autrans, France!

It looks as if that jazz band ‘milked it for all it was worth’!

The jazz band wasn’t ‘cowed’ by the bovine herd!

It was a ’moo’ving tribute. On such an occasion, the cows should be seen, but not ‘herd’!

Eh … Svalbard is neither a single island (it’s every island, islet, and skerry in the region), nor simply Norwegian: It is subject to the Svalbard treaty, which among other things gives all signatories equal right to commercial activity. The Soviet Union and later Russia have been using this right, and there’s an entire Russian community built around coal mining up there,
Puts a different spin on that consulate, eh?

It’s a known fact that cows that are milked to the sound of music give better milk. It soothes them. That’s something Lucy should have told Linus in today’s Peanuts.

@FANOLIO,Well, that’s an udder subject, isn’t it? To utter udder puns might be considered an udder disgrace by some people and would be udderly preposterous. Udder plays-on-words should not be milked to the uddermost. Udderwise, I could prattle on indefinitely. Have an udderly great day!

Most people wouldn’t have the guts to do what that obese man did!
