You are surprised when the cow drops dead.<BR/><BR/>Alternatively:<BR/><BR/>AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRACY You have two cows. The government nationalizes your herd to control the price of milk and level the playing field for consumers. Each cow has a calf and they grow into cows. The milkers union stage an industrial action (strike) to protest the increase in the number of milk cows. A new party comes to power and the economic rationalists privatize your herd to control the price of milk and level the playing field for producers. The government orders the slaughter of two cows to cut production and control the price of milk.You throw a huge beef barbie (barbecue), with XXXX (how Australians spell beer), invite the milkers union, and give a speech espousing the merits of a level playing field. You still have two cows.Jean-Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689798190618944262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-1160407388374994432006-10-10T01:23:00.000+10:002006-10-10T01:23:00.000+10:00hej Florence no dancing just lots of talking and l...hej Florence no dancing just lots of talking and laughing, food and wine... was a good time but now I am tired...

You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowikimon and market them worldwide.<BR/><BR/>A GERMAN CORPORATION<BR/>You have two cows.<BR/>You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.<BR/><BR/>AN ITALIAN CORPORATION<BR/>You have two cows, but you don't know where they are... You break for lunch.<BR/><BR/>A RUSSIAN CORPORATION<BR/>You have two cows.<BR/>You count them and learn you have five cows.<BR/>You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.<BR/>You count them again and learn you have 12 cows.<BR/>You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.<BR/><BR/>A SWISS CORPORATION<BR/>You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.Jean-Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689798190618944262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-1160281738765778872006-10-08T14:28:00.000+10:002006-10-08T14:28:00.000+10:00those owls + minicats are so wonderful!i'm very im...those owls + minicats are so wonderful!<BR/>i'm very impressed ff!<BR/>great photography + type styles too!mod*momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072518787342325987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-1160268569151192482006-10-08T10:49:00.000+10:002006-10-08T10:49:00.000+10:00wow! i think you should have aFlying Star teaparty...wow! i think you should have aFlying Star teaparty soon so all the FSU inhabitants can meet each other and subsequently plot world imagination dominationmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659731376272977062noreply@blogger.com
