??? I’m not sure why a bunch of dead cows altered the race. Were they in the road?
The cows were … “culled,” as they wrote, because “slaughtered” is so direct.
That reminds me of the famous politically correct cowboy, Texas John Cull.
Texas John Slaughter had a theme song:
Texas John Slaughter
Made ’em do what they oughta
And if they didn’t, they died
Texas John Cull also had one:
Texas John Cull
His requests were quite dull
If if they refused, he asked again
Oh, sure, Texas John was a wimp who always dealt with problems obliquely, but he was the manly guy in his family. His brothers, Delaware Devon and Manhattan Merrick, always ended fights by running away, crying like little girls.
