They were performing that dangerous Jewish ritual with an open Arc.

Man..that's pork, not cow.

When lightning strikes 13 pigs, he'll get his 'shot'...if yas know what I mean ;-)

I told Joan that wasn't a good idea.

Lightning is rather dangerous. Never play golf in the rain, unless you are using a 1-iron..., even God can't hit a 1-iron.

And just think: 13 cows with just one lightning bolt. 9 obnoxious democrats all in the same place at one time.

In 1997 I was running a Beef Cattle Ranch for my father, we raised Red Limousine cows. One morning we were out checking our cows after a bad summer storm and we had 3 cows hit by lightning ourselves. It was kind of weird, there was a tree that the limbs kind of split about 2 1/2' up the tree and a cow had her head between the limbs, the bolt of lightning passed through her body and out her backside hitting the two cows standing behind her. They both fell over with their legs sticking straight up like some comedy movie you might see, while I must admit it wasn't very damn funny when 3 of your best brood cows were lying dead. What was weird is that the buzzards wouldn't eat the meat, I guess because it was thouroughly cooked and they didn't want any of that.

I once owned a cow that was struck by lightening. Prior to being struck she was the most conservative cow you would ever want to meet. The lightening didn't kill her but must must have fried her brain because afterwards she turned liberal and refused to give milk but still expected to be fed.... I finally had to put her down.

LOL..
I like it.

It's usually just the opposite, a jolt of some kind (lightning, mugging, etc..) changes 'em from liberal to conservative.

yer cow musta gotten too many volts.

This reminds me of a Funky Winkerbean cartoon. Two characters were out playing golf when a thunderstorm approached. One of the guys wanted to take shelter under a tree and the other guy declined saying a low-lieing area is better. The last panel showed the guy who didn't stay under the tree all bandaged up in a hospital bed with the sound bubble over him saying 'flash flood'. lol

Common place occurrance here on FR when it comes to DUers.... But they look more like jackasses than cows, I would imagine....

Mr Potter, who runs a farm of 300 milking cows, said the dead Friesians, all under six years-old, were uninsured.

AFLAC...

I had a friend who worked on the power company control board in the Modesto area many years ago. A power line fell and he made a mistake and closed the power switch too soon. He executed several cows. I don't remember how many.

He always felt really bad about it. I am sure the farmer was none to happy either :)
