another one…


Sorry for the spammage, folks, but I’m researching genetics at work today and I keep finding all this amusing stuff…

"Estrotect is a revolutionary new tool to tell when a cow is on heat. Its simple design means there is no messy glue. Just peel it off the backing paper and stick it on the cow."

Remember, avoid damp cows – you may need to rub the area dry first. And don’t be tempted to clip the hair – scissors, if you must, but no clippers! Well. Now I know. And good thing, too.

I can hear one of my old high school classmates right now: “What’n yew want with glue? The one surefire way to tell if a cow’s in heat means yew need lube!” (Yes, I can say with a straight face that far too many of the people in my old home town were cowfuckers. And horsefuckers. And pigfuckers. I’m amazed that nobody worked their way down to snapping turtles and rattlesnakes, but I suspect that’s because there was always a good abandoned wine jug that could be used in a pinch. Whenever anyone wants to joke about Australia, I tell them “You REALLY haven’t seen anything like North Texas in the Eighties, have you?)

There are no suspect farm animals jokes about Australians -- they're all about New Zealanders

If you’re looking for something specific, particularly on the commercialised side, drop me a line – I’ve got a pretty good sense of what’s going on and where. And if I don’t know, I probably know people that do.

Thanks Nick -- I think we're OK but I'll get back to you next week if we're not
