I recently joined the Ashland Y--a very good facility, I must say. There is a cow living across the street from the gym. I thought this was strange, but have been mostly ignoring it. There are so many cows around here, what's one more?
In a random conversation with my boss's wife at the CEO's holiday party, it turns out that her babysitter is the woman who owns this cow. Also an East Coaster, my boss's wife was curious. So she tells us she asked her babysitter,
"Is it friendly?"
"No."
"Is it going to be food?"
"No."
"Do other cows like it?"
"Nope."
"OK...so why do you have the cow if you don't like it, other cows don't like it, it serves no purpose, and the cow isn't friendly to other people or other cows?"
"It's a town landmark!"
Well, I can certainly see how that explains things. IMHO, I'd put this cow on par with the Chrysler Building.
