Cow: Crazy as a loon. Thinks he’s a scientist or something. But I keep him around because I need the sex.

Scientist (to himself): A revolution is not a dinner party, nor is it doing embroidery.
Cow: Where the broom does not reach, the dust will not vanish of itself.
Girl: Ooo! We are the future of TV talk shows!

Cow: He says it’s a formula for making Albert’s blog posts readable.

Oh, they're not that bad. Let's just call it a milking cluster. Better, sweetie?
Posted by: Cantinjurya Milkshanks | July 30, 2007 at 04:07 PM
Mmm. Milking clusters.
Cow: It's going well, though you can see he's a bit fussy about his martinis. Now enough about us. Tell me more about your father's goiter.

Oh, my dear, I assure you it was all quite innocent. He needed the milk and I needed the human growth hormone. Neither of us expected my genetic predisposition for speech or my proclivity for Southern dress. Be assured that he loves only you, although he would prefer bigger udders.
