Police arrested a 21-year-old New York woman who allegedly drove into a herd of cows in Orange County, seriously injuring three of them.

Authorities say Daisy Cowit, of Wawayanda, was using her cell phone when she plowed her Jeep Liberty into the cows on Mountain Road last Monday. Six of the cows were struck, and two farm workers were nearly hit, police said.

Three of the cows had to undergo emergency surgery for their injuries; they survived.

Cowit was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and reckless driving. She also faces charges of driving while using a cell phone and failure to exercise due care, both traffic infractions.

It wasn't immediately clear if Cowit had a lawyer.

I bet there was some booze involved.
Hard to believe that anyone is that stupid.

Instead of talking on her cell phone, if ditzy Daisy had been trying to apply her makeup, I think the whole herd would have gone down.

[Fresh Wind]

Well, you really milked this one for all it was worth.

[Charles Henrickson]

This thread is udderly lactating in any feeling for this low-information voter. May Heaven heifer.

Boy, you milked that one for all it's worth.

[Charles Henrickson]

Beat me by thismuch!

[Fresh Wind]

Well, at least you aren’t a coward for admitting it!

[MinuteGal]

There has to be a science to study if your name creates your fate. I have a dentist named Mantooth and our county coroner is name Exum.

One of the rare instances where the subject is more attractive in the mug shot than made up.

Speaking of makeup, did you know that cowpie was the basis of the original makeup invented by the ancient Egyptians?

[OldMissileer]

Daisy Cowit?

The jokes just write themselves.

Dairy say you're both too kine?

Hay, I cud not say it butter!

[mad_as_he$$]

Actually I did have that filed in the bottom of the old brain pan. I do not ever mention it due to an unfortunate incident involving a discussion along those lines and the price of modern makeup with Mrs. Mad.

Three of the cows had to undergo emergency surgery for their injuries

They were taken to the hospital in a Guernsey.

DITZY DAISY
Tune: "Daisy, Daisy" but then "Daisy, Daisy" when running into cows

Ditzy Daisy
Give your attention due
There's cows grazing
There right ahead of you
You're talking upon your cell phone
But soon you'll hear yourself moan
But you'll look hot
In your mug shot
After driving your car on through

[Vigilanteman]

This is shaping up to be a very punny thread . . .

The Chick-fil-A cows were unavailable for comment but in a statement released from their publicist they hope that AG Holder promptly pursues a hate crime investigation.
