C'mon, theres gotta be some good cow jokes on this.
By the way, did the brown cow survive the accident? | The cow returned to its daily routine of grazing and lived a pleasant life until the McDonald's truck showed up to see how many quarter pounders they could get out of him.

OK< I have to add to this one!
I used to deliver a area that could afford anything that they wanted. I mean anything!
One house had a dog that bit everyone that delivered there. UPS,Fed Ex, the mikman, you name it and he bit them including myself. The folks paid the pound $1000.00 just once that I know about to get the dog back and he was picked up about once a month.
One day the mutt ran me into the garage. The owners were not home but there was a fully loaded AK 47 loaded with a full clip at the back door. I SERIOUSLY considered using it but security pulled up right as it happened.
They distracted the dog while I ran back to the truck! | |

How did they do it? Call him off by saying "GOOD BOY"
I'd have taken the AK "in trade".
BTW, why do they need security when they have a bad dog running loose and a fully loaded
AK in the garage?

I have a big stupid Rottweiler, the worst thing he did was jump up on one of the cover drivers delivering to my house and lick his face. | |

Up here hitting a dog is an accident. Domestic animals are property and it's considered property damage. So if you run over a chihuahua it's an accident, but if you run over a squirrel it isn't. | |

First, do you know how many centers ups has in alaska. Second, do you know how ground packages from lower 48 are transported up to you guys, truck, barge?? Also, do you guys get some sort of pay allowance for being in an expensive, secluded area. One more thing, what is the most rural route that you know of that is run by an actual ups employee...no contractors. Just curious thanks. | |
