Two cows
There is a web site on the internet where people can contribute to a list of things you would do if you had two cows and you were a capitalist, or a socialist, or New Zealander etc.
For example:
ANARCHISM: You have two cows. The cows decide you have no right to do anything with their milk and leave to form their own society.
DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.
While the above examples from the web site in question are not too bad, there are many from that web site which are not too good. I think creative people here might be able to do better.
So for starters I am offering two entries...
A SOCIALIST WITH TWO COWS:
Upon finding that one cow produces less milk than the other, you milk the more productive cow longer and harder to make up the shortfall.
AN AUSTRALIAN WITH TWO COWS:
You get drunk and lose your watch. Next morning you confront the cows: "Which one of you smart bastards stole my bloody watch?"

CARDINAL GEORGE PELL WITH TWO COWS:
The would-be Pontiff discovers a pile of smelly cow turds at the entrance to Saint Mary's Cathedral. He rushes around to the grassed area at the back and discovers two cows engrossed in a book each.
Inspecting the book of the first he is aghast to see the title:
"The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins
Inspecting the second cow's reading matter he begins to fulminate in a state of near apoplexy when he discovers the title:
"God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens

Now now, Kim,
I thought that the scientist sheila you showed on this forum some months ago explained that religion could be neither proved nor disproved, so we shouldn't get too dogmatic about it either way.
Or as Edward de Bono once said when asked during a TV interview about whether God exists... "Oh, maybe, maybe."
But I appreciate your effort in posting a response, and also the email link you sent me (I will make a donation when my next PayPal payment comes in).

Which TV interview did he say that on? Do you have a clip of it?
Carolyn Porco would not have been dogmatic about the two cows, no. She may have preferred two pigs...

It was ACA or some such.
Long time ago, no clip.

I would trade one cow for a bull, that way I could breed them and have more cows.
Maybe I read that in one of Ed's books. Maybe its already on the website, though I didn't peek.

There was a story I heard (from about 1900 i think) in which Russians traded a pair of minks for something valuable (i forget). It was a trick. The minks were both female so that they couldn't breed.

Teacher to boy: Why are late for class?
Boy: I was taking the bull to the cows, miss.
Teacher: Couldn't your father have done it?
Boy: Yes, but the bull does it better miss.
