Dreams and Memories: COW ALERT !!

COW ALERT !!

11/20/2007 04:13:00 AM

On the way to church yesterday evening, we came across a herd of cows (lembu) as we normally call it here in Malaysia. They were happily munching away to the grass at the road side.. It's actually rather common to see cows along the road to Ipoh from UTP. That by any standards is still considered rather normal.

Well anyway, the story goes that as we passed the cows, Bismo suddenly exclaimed "Hey, look at the cows, they're so skinny.." I don't remember what exactly was the topic of discussion berefe that statement popped up. But somehow, it wasa totally unexpected statement at a totally unexpected time. Next thing i knew, Roy, Edgar and me were laughing like crazy people. Me in particular.

Not even 1 minute after that incident we suddenly saw a cow happily trotting on the road in the lane we were using. It was slightly scary, because we had to do a drastic slowing down, and try to zap into the neighbouring lane. (Well, logicaly, it was either that or ram into the cow.) Ramming into the cow isn't exactly an option coz from stories that I've heard before, chances are, after ramming a cow, the car might be in a wreck, whereas the cow, will probably fall on the ground, get up and continue walking as if nothing happened.

As we passed the cow, another funny statement came out from Bismo. "Now cows not only cross the road, they actually travel ON the road like cars." :-)

I simply couldn't stop laughing at the hillarity of the situation... Supposedly now the joke about why chickens cross the road shouldn't be about the chicken anymore, but rather 'Why do cows cross the road?'
