Holstein

“Sweetie, you know I’ve wanted to to add a lawn ornament?”

 

“Yes, I know you have.”

 

“Well, I’ve found just what I’ve been looking for!”

 

“You know I don’t like any of that stuff. Such a cliche.”

 

“But this is different; unique …”

 

“Let me guess. A blue flamingo instead of pink one? An old lady, bending over her garden, not wearing bloomers? A tall, skinny gnome?”

 

“No, no, no. I’m serious!”

 

“What is it?”

 

“A cow.”

 

“A cow?!”

 

“Yes! A Holstein.”

 

“A cow? You mean like the Horvaard’s grazing deer? Don’t TELL me it’s life-size.”

 

“Oh no. It’s not life-size.”
