Crazy Like a... Cow?

Sometimes you see a story in the news that makes you want to flick yourself in the eyelid to make sure you haven't drifted off to the land wacky dreams, where chickens eat people and cliffs that people stumble off lie around every corner. This is that story.

For those of you too lazy to click on the link, the gist of it is that a woman apparently decided to celebrate All Hallows Eve a bit early. She dressed up in her finest holstein costume and took to the streets. Unfortunately, instead of going door-to-door soliciting for Sugar Babies, she decided to chase real children. In other words, she whiffed in the pursuit of treats.

Oh, but there was a trick involved. In apparent effort to fully channel her inner bovine, she showed no regard for personal privacy and urinated in a neighbor's front yard. Thankfully, the lawn received no fertilizing.

As one who often attempts (and fails) to conjure up humorous stories, this serves as a reminder that sometimes fiction just can't compete with reality.

The whole situation is extremely bizarre, but I implore you to go back and read the story linked above again. Pay particular attention to the final line...

...

...That's right. A woman wreaks havoc in a neighborhood by chasing children around and peeing in a neighbor's yard, yet the big unsolved mystery in this report is the motivation for her wardrobe.

Honestly?

Well, at least she wore a costume! Consider the alternative!
