For those of you belly achin’ cuz’a the invisible kiddie tale today, here’s an Atlas classic that’s a little more up to our traditional snuff… uh, stuff.
Once there was a man who dreamed he was a cow...and the dream was so real, he thought he truly was a cow, and that his previous life had been the dream...and when he awakened into the world of man, he wept for his lost cowhood. And ever after, for the rest of his life, he never could be sure whether he was a man who dreamt he was a cow, or a cow dreaming that he was a man. Here endeth the lesson.
...
Hey, all cows are Buddhist, right? Or was it Hindu. Anyway, I found the story moooving.
Of course this terror tale was cheesy, but at least it was butter than some. In fact, it curdled my blood! The only beef I have is with the udderly ridiculous premise.
I could go on, but I don't want to milk this anymore...
Thank you Jeff and The Vicar... that's right folks, if you love cow humor then you came to right place. And just a reminder, they'll be performing here all week so tell your mom, tell your pop.
