Buying a Cow

The old saying goes "Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?"

Here's a joke to go along with that: "Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize its not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage."

But back to the original question. I think that besides milk, there are other good reasons for buying the cow. Beef for example. Or leather pants. If you apply this metaphor to marraige, perhaps a leather belt is the feeling of trust. And a steak is loving commitment, I'm not quite sure. Maybe it's just a steak.

So even if there is a milkman, that is practically giving away bottles of milk on every street corner, I think there are good reasons for buying cows. Besides who says that all milk tastes the same? Maybe if you nurture and love a cow, the milk tastes
better. Not to mention you can grind the cow up, cover with a texas dry rub and smother with BBQ sauce.

Just remember the old slogan: Milk. It does a body good.
