[Sarah Barracuda]

We can send them one 800 pound Candy Crowley, does that count as 1 really large cow?

[bergmeid]

800 cows! How about the first black American president instead? We can throw in the big aeroplane too just to sweeten the deal.

[kingattax]

800 cows ? is Thad Cochran involved in this ?

[BenLurkin]

“It’s alimentary.”

We all need more laughs these days.

"800 cows as a precondition for the release of the abducted 20 Fulani women...20 cows each for their release..."

A little proposition there from the slick businessmen.

"He said he was asked to provide 40 cows as ransom for the release of his abducted wife, but the man said he has his son with him; and that if it was God’s wish that his wife would return to him, he does not need to part with his means of livelihood to secure her release, he added."

Ah! Wise guy, eh? He wouldn't accept the generous offer!

[Little irony and humor there. But on the darker side, we can see from contemporary events and political speech, that such an economic environment is already arriving in America.]

Hmmm...on second thought. 40 cows, eh? Live cattle, 146.63 per hundredweight. Wow. Beef is expensive!

Lemme see...that's about $1466.30 per head of western range slaughter beef...times 40...

...$58,652 for 40 of 'em! Hoooweee!

800 Cows? Boko Haram must have heard that Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran is planning a trip to Africa and they must prepare for his visit.

I love it! I read the bows and knew it had to be a mistake, but planned to say I would make them from red, white and blue ribbon!
