What is so hard about leading a dog through a kissing gate? I've seen
people do it many times.

Cows and sheep !

Elephants and kangeroos! Anyone can play that game.


I would have thought it obvious but if you must play this game : How does
one get cows and sheep through a kissing gate ?

You're not a farmer are you! Farmers typically get cows and sheep into
their fields by means of cranes, catapaults or hot air balloons. Once
a farmer did try to patent a five-bar kissing gate, but his mates said
he'd never get planning permission for something that complex. Also,
there are the tunnels, of course. Every farmer knows a secret tunnel
somewhere under the fence that he can get the cows and sheep through.
I think they were all built during the war in case Jerry came and we
had to find somewhere else to live. Getting elephants and kangeroos
shifted is a bit of a problem, though. Mind you, they do say that you
can just tell kangeroos to hop it. I haven't been able to test this
myself as I am firmly wedged into this 'ere kissing gate and cannot
move a muscle, let alone be on the lookout for kangeroos.
