50/50 chance of getting murdered in the woods or seeing cows.
i’m still waiting for this to happen to me.
I keep calling but I only get drugs and muggings :(
same
You just know this is the guys delusion from blood loss while the serial killer preps him to be eaten…
Worth.
Solid.
“I’m gonna get so molested”
Moolested*
What are the chances of seeing cows in this scenario if you are from India?
In Wisconsin it’s like 90/10. I’d guess probably similar.
Someone invites me to look at/pet cows, I wouldn’t even think about negative ulterior motives, cuz there’s several dozen dairy farms within a half hour drive. Tho I would assume they were angling for free help.
Now baby goats, as a draw, are 50/50. Way more likely to work, and way less common.
Edit: words cuz I’m dumb
Many hands make light work. And a little bit of work to spend some time with the animals can be good (if you’re into that sort of thing).
Baristas can get crazy connections lol. My friend had a wedding venue cancel and keep their deposit at the start of covid. Tons of arguments and calls and threats. His (now) wife is a barista and had a regular that was a lawyer, she mentioned it to him and sued the venue for their money back and more, pro bono didn’t charge them anything 👌
One of the many benefits of being peoples caffeine dealer.
Only part I don’t buy is that they were like “ok fuck it” after work, like they were reluctant. Don’t pretend you weren’t working distracted all day, waiting to go play with those cows.
I think the op meant that they weren’t so sure IF there even are any cows to begin with - as in it might be a scam…that’s how I interpret it anyway.
Edit: nonetheless, cows are very cute and I’m jealous of this person.
I took it as feeling maybe a little too eager and not wanting to irritate new cow friends despite “come on over any time”. Is that like really anytime, or sometime in the future but same day may be weird,…nah, fuck it.

Both, I don’t want to bug my cow friend but also what if they’re just a human trafficker and I may never see anyone I know ever again
I think you only have to worry if they keep a lot of pigs
I grew up with cows. They’re surprisingly similar to dogs. Just as playful, just not as bright. They’re awesome.
I had a family member that was a traveling cow inseminator and he loved cows. I was at a steak house with him and asked why he is eating a giant steak for dinner if he loved cows so much. He kind of just shrugged and said “without the steak, I wouldn’t get to hang around cows all day”
Spending part of my summer with him was illuminating. I bet beef would be way less popular if people got a chance to pet a cow regularly. Very smart animals, at least emotionally smart.

I know what you meant, but the images this brings to mind…
Don’t shake that man’s hand.
He went on to say that the man loved cows. What’s not to get?
Well you’re not getting any baby cows that way, that’s for sure
This man had a dream, and tried to make it true. Can you blame him?
That sentence was a mental triple-take
It’s a hell of a way to start a story!
I love both cows and dogs, and I grew up around both. And I’ve eaten both.

No kidding. I travel a lot, and I make a point out of trying “weird” stuff. In Calabar (Nigeria) I tried dog, I would describe the taste kind of like sheep, but not quite.

From what I understand, they’re at least as smart as dogs, if not more so. The guy/scientist who wrote “Cowpuppy” mentions they can recognize themselves and others in a mirror!
Years ago, I went caving out in the sticks with an outdoors group. To change into my caving outfit, I went behind the end of a cornrow, next to a pasture fence. A group of three cows up the hill noticed, and moseyed down the hill to watch. It was pretty clear from their body language that they were bored and curious. (And also, voyeurs.)
The lead cow mooed at me in a way that kind of sounded like a question. What the heck, I figured, and mooed back. I don’t know what I said, but it was scandalous. The cows’ faces looked like they were positively shocked, and they promptly turned around and marched back over the hill. It was like a real-life “My mother was a saint!” sitcom joke, but with cows instead of a foreign language.
Yeah, I had no doubt that there was intelligence there.
Until the poop on your rug
If some stranger came up to me and promised me I would get to play with baby animals I would go too. Yea, that’s how I’d die.
makes note
This is the cutest story I’ve heard all week. “Thank you cow couple” is the cherry on top.
Cows are basically just big doggos
I wish there were some animal sanctuaries near me I could volunteer at
🥰
Used to run dexters down around Saragosa.
they’re adorable and rather wee for cows
But, never turn your back on an angus cow.
I’ve known some Angus that were plenty calm and/or friendly.
but Never turn your back on a Chianina.
Oh… I read crow but the very last sentence.
