The Dilly News

This is beyond belief. Last night it got so cold in Minnesota that
a
cow standing out in the field shatterred and fell to pieces. Farmer
John Tilden was shocked when he got out to his pasture about 6am.
and
found one of his cows lying on the ground in several hundred pieces.
The cow, an approximately five year old Holstein was completely
shattered. All that remained was irregularly shaped pieces of
black
and white fur that somehow used to fit together and be a cow. A
vererinarian was immediately called, who stated the cow got so cold
that it just fractured from the inside out, and finally shatterred,
most likely due to a sudden movement, and probably after getting
scared from something. The veterinarian said the cow could not be
saved, because there were just too many pieces to the puzzle, but he
did manage to find the udder and it was filled with some very tastey
ice cream, which was saved for Christmas dinner.

However, Tilden decided that since it's so cold outdoors, and since
he
is bored being in the house, he collected all the pieces and is
planning to see if he can put the cow back together, with the help
of
his brother who has always been good at puzzles. After sending an
urgent letter to Santa Claus asking for help with the puzzle, Tilden
put out a plea for anyone willing to assist with the puzzle to
please
contact him immediately, and promises to share the ice cream with
them.


Merry Christmas

What is your hallucinogen of choice? ;+

That is not exactly true. Some of my Alpha Chi Fraternity brothers
and I were out doing our nightly 'Cow Tipping' and when we tipped that
young holstein, it broke into multiple pieces.

We have all pledged to tip at least 10 cows a night and didn't mean
for anything bad to happen so we apoligize to Mr Tilden. We have
relaxed the rules to say that we will NOT tip any cows in zero degree
weather or below.

Sorry,
PJ and friends.

That's not the birth of an urban legend - It's the aborted remains of a
butt-nugget from an idiot suffering from the delusion that "stupid"
equals "funny".

Agree. My beef is that the whole thing is udder nonsense. But I guess
someone is going horn in and milk the story for all it's worth. No reason to
to try and hide that the tail is totally untrue.

But if it is further circulated, wouldn't it become a rural rather than
an urban legend???

Well, his first sentence is, "This is beyond belief." And
it is! Should have stopped right there.

I'd say that as an Urban Legend this is a flop.
