The story that ran in eastern MSM about the NJ Cop field dressing a road kill and inadvertently saving a fawn by way of a cesarean section. This shows how much modern citified folks have lost touch with country ways. So I will find examples where there is apparently a misunderstanding and provide a reasonable explanation. This may turn into a long-term project.
- Helping Livestock across the fence.
Typically the livestock involved is either sheep or goats. The animal is hung up on either the top strand or next lower strand of a wire fence. The stature of the rescuer will determine which strand. It isn’t unusual for the rescuers pants to fall down to knee level and the last push over the fence may incorporate some vigorous hip thrusting.
The first thing to know, that animal didn’t need any help over the fence.
Check to see, is there a fence anywhere near-by?
A variation on the theme, in lieu of a fence the rescuer is wearing hip boots and the hind legs of the animal are stuck in the boots.
* Note, no fence
Nice to know, if the guy helping the sheep happens to be the local Ford/Lincoln dealer, now is the time to take the step up to that Lincoln your wife always wanted.
2. Goats being taken to market.
It is true that in third world countries when herds of goats are destined to market an eighteen wheeler is rarely required. Pull the back seat out of the family sedan and put the goats back there with the wife.
3. It isn’t unusual, in the third world, to see a goat or sheep traveling via moped. A common mistake is to say, “Oh, they are going to market!” That is a rookie mistake, this is called a date or as illustrated in the picture below, a double date.
Next time we will discuss “Fisting” as practiced in the homosexual community and in animal husbandry. Stay tuned.
