Christmas is almost upon us and another year has passed in the Straitgate affair.
This pantomime has been running since 1965, and, as we posted, Aggregate Industries' planning application will now enter another decade.
Over the last two years, one of the subjects that has challenged Aggregate Industries and Devon County Council has been the πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππΆand how they would need to regularly cross the B3174 Exeter Road to replacement grazing as a direct result of the company's proposal to quarry their pasture. If we were to frame the problem in Christmas cracker terms:
Why did the cows cross the road? Where else could they go?
It's not a joke, but because it’s nearly Christmas, by unpopular demand here are some that are. Don’t blame us, blame the internet.
Why did the cow cross the road? To get to the other side.
Why did the sheep cross the road? To get to the other side.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
Why did the farmer cross the road? To get his animals back.
Two cows were talking in a field. The first cow said to the other, "Have you heard about the Mad Cow disease going around?" The second cow replies, "Yeah, makes you glad you’re a penguin, doesn’t it?"
Two cows were talking in a field. The first said "moo" and the second said "baaaa." The first cow asked the second cow, "why did you say baaaa?" The second cow said, "I’m learning a foreign language."
Why canΚΌt you tell a cow a joke? They already herd it.
What do you call a cow with a sense of humour? A cowmedian.
What do you call a cow after she has given birth? Decaffeinated.
What has four legs and goes "Oom, Oom"? A cow walking backwards.
Why do dairy farmers get along with their cows so well? They work well with udders.
I asked a farmer if it’s easy to milk a cow. He said, "Sure. Any jerk can do it."
This guy keeps making cow jokes... how dairy!?!
Anyway, this subject's been milked dry, so – Merry Christmas and a Happy Moo Year to all readers!
PS. If Aggregate Industries and Devon County Council have had nightmares over the cows – this video of surreal bovine choreography is unlikely to help. Someone suggested this is what cows do when no one's looking, and perhaps they're right. It’s had 55 million views. Enjoy.
