You should trade in your cows for gold! • Ronald Coase: You are worried that some cows are not owned by anybody. ## Economics • Credit Crunch: You have two cows.

The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. The public then buys your bull. • Any freelance job: You have two cows. People keep asking for milk, say they "can't really pay you," and add "but it's good exposure for you" or "but you'll get a nice entry for your port." • Any temporary or contract job: You have to give the same milk, or better quality, as all the other cows in the field, but are not treated as well as the 'real' cows that 'belong' there, and don't get the same pasture space, feed, or other things that 'regular' cows do. • Trickle down economics: By feeding more oats to your two cows, more will pass through their digestive systems for the chickens to eat. ## American politics ### Presidents • George Washington • (as written by a Brit): You have two cows. Your landlord takes some of the milk in return for protecting you from his neighbour. You throw him off your farm. You take other farmers' milk in return for protecting them from the landlord. • (as written by an American): You have two cows. Your landlord tries to take your milk, without allowing you any say whatsoever. You throw him off your farm after a protracted battle. All men are equal now, except cows. • (as written by the French): You have two cows. You wouldn't have had them without us saving your derrière. • Thomas Jefferson: You have two cows. You buy a shitload more from the French. • John Tyler: Your boss has two cows. He dies. The cows are now yours.

One attacks the other, but you can't find a legal justification for putting down the crazed cow. • Abraham Lincoln: • You have two free range white cows, and two black cows in a factory farm. You free the black cows from the factory farm to get your farmhands to stop fighting. One of your farmhands assassinates you for this. • You inherit James Buchanan's two cows. You manage to get the mad cow to stop attacking the other one. Unfortunately, after you die, the farmer who takes over the ranch really likes the mad cow for some reason, and lets it continue its bad behavior. Said cow later becomes the ancestor of the rabid cow that will be owned by Barack Obama. • Grover Cleveland: You have two non-consecutive cows. • Woodrow Wilson: • You have two cows. You promise not to draft them, but you do it anyway. • You have two cows. You treat your neighbors' cows much more humanely than you treat your own. • Warren G. Harding: You have two cows. You play poker while your friends sell off your milk and cows behind your back. • Franklin Roosevelt: You save an entire dairy full of cows from starvation and attack by coyotes. American conservatives ignore you and worship Winston Churchill. • You have three-and-a-bit cows, more than anyone else. Under the next farmer, the number of cows one can have is set at two, excepting that farmer, who probably couldn't get any more anyway - in fact, it's surprising he got the second one in the first place. Three farmers later, a farmer can own nearly 2.3 cows, but decides not to. • Franklin Roosevelt (Republican version): You have two cows. You shoot one, buy milk from the other cow, and then pour the milk down the drain.[3] • Dwight Eisenhower: You start off with two cows, then your neighbor gets another one, so you get two more. This continues until you have millions of cows. Also, these cows can blow up the world. You warn future generations about the dangers of the mili-dairy/industrial complex. • John F. Kennedy: I believe that this farm should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a cow on the moon and returning her safely to the earth. • Richard Nixon: • You illegally occupy a cattle ranch and begin killing the livestock. You promise to vacate it but instead occupy another cattle ranch and begin killing its livestock. • Why the hell did you think cowfucking was a good idea, Dick? • Jimmy Carter: You spend your time trying to keep other cows from fighting, and by building barns. Everyone complains that you didn't do it fast enough. • Ronald Reagan: • If you had two cows when he took over the ranch, you still have two cows. If you had no cows, you still don't have any. But if you had ten cows, you now have a thousand. • You have two cows. Both of them endlessly worship you. The rest of the world laughs. • You started out with two cows. You ended up with three. Inexplicably, everyone is convinced that you started out with two and ended up with one. • You have two cows but your wife controls the milk. She tells you that you can't give the milk to your goon squads. So you sell one cow to your enemy for milk in order to get your chickens back and secretly give the milk to your goon squads. You claim that you were giving the cow to your enemy as a means of coming to a detente and that your enemy gave the chickens back of their own free will and that no milk went to your goon squads. • George H.W. Bush • You have two cows. Even they think you lack charisma. • "Read my lips: We won't collect new cows or milk from you." • Bill Clinton: You had one cow. That wasn't enough for you, so you got a second cow. You lived to regret that, and are back to just the first one. It is widely suspected you are both allowed to see other cows. • George W. Bush: A coyote attacks and kills one of your three cows. Eighteen months later you react by ordering your two cows to invade the chicken coop. • Barack Obama: • You have two cows that fight constantly. You keep trying to get them to play nice but eventually realize that the one in the right stall of the barn is rabid. So you ignore it and shoot the coyote that killed George W. Bush's third cow. • No one believes you actually own those two cows. There are consistent demands for the ownership certificate. When presented, they demand the original, long-form version. • You inherited two cows from George W. Bush, and you treat them in essentially the same way that he did. However, they are convinced that you treat them in just the opposite of the way he treated them. One of them loves you for it, while the other passionately hates you for it. ### Other political figures • Al Gore: You have two cows. You keep telling them about the dangers of global warming, but they make jokes about your private jet. • Al Gore (alternate): You had two cows, and a newborn calf. Dubya just had two cows. Despite that, the Supreme Court said he got to run the ranch. • Alan Greenspan: You have a printing press that creates cows. You print tons of cows for everyone, then wonder why there are no pastures left. • Bernie Sanders: Do you know what? The Walton family owns as many cows as the bottom 60% of the population and I don't think that's right. • Bobby Jindal: You have two cows. You promise not to milk them. The government gives you milk once. Rather than milking your cows to buy hay, you let them starve. The cows move to Vermont. • Ben Bernanke: You have two cows. One is sick. You tell the other cow that disease is safely contained. • Clarence Thomas: You have two cows. You cannot find any mention of cows in the Constitution, so you get rid of them. • Cliven Bundy : You have two cows that you put out to pasture on your neighbour's field.

Emboldened, you claim that you don't recognise his farm, because you were here first and anyway, black cows are lazy. • Dan Quayle: You have two crows. • Dinesh D'Souza: You are a castrated Brahma bull. You hate yourself not because you lack a scrotum but because you are not the WASP who owns the farm. • Dick Cheney: You have two cows. You shoot one in the face and it apologizes to you. • Donald Rumsfeld: You have two cows. But there are also cows that you know you don't have and cows that you don't know you don't have, so you have to go to war with the cows you do have. • Glenn Beck: You had two cows. They were stolen by a Soros-sponsored conspiracy. You want to take them back. • Hillary Clinton: You very nearly owned two cows, but you're happy to carry the milk. Who knows, maybe if you carry the milk well enough, you'll get the cows later. • John Birch Society: You have two cows. You killed one because it was a commie. • John McCain: You might have had two cows if not for the whisper campaign about an illegitimate black calf.

## British politics

• Alec Douglas-Home: You have two cows, although almost nobody remembers this. You pronounce the word as "coo."
• David Cameron: You have two cows. One of them has a blue rosette and thinks it's a bull. The other much smaller cow thinks it's in charge, but really just follows the big one around looking confused.
• You were recently exposed as having put your penis in a dead cow's mouth some years ago.
• Gordon Brown: You had six cows. You examine your five cows and find that your four cows need a bit of a wash. You take these three cows but find that your two cows don't meet the right economic criteria. Your one cow finds itself in quite a predicament.
• John Profumo: It just looks bad that both you and the senior Soviet Naval Attache are milking the same heifer.
• Margaret Thatcher: You don't need cows. You just take the milk.
• Nick Clegg: You have no cows. You get yourself a cow in exchange for all the milk it produces.

• Nigel Farage: You have two cows and don't want them to be part of the EU, even though they're Frisians.
• Oswald Mosley: You have a very small, mentally disturbed cow that loves you intensely.

• (dark satire): You starved 3 million cows to death in Bengal in 1943. None of your biographers ever mention this.

## International politics

• Australian Labor Party: You have two cows. One of them is elected leader. You replace the elected one with a different one to get re-elected. The next election, you decide to switch them round again because the second cow is unpopular. The election after that, you switch them again. You go have a beer.
• Enrique Peña Nieto:
• You once couldn't name three cows you milked. You are still elected the farmer of the ranch. Eventually, the cows realize they made a grave mistake.

• You have two cows. They are only milked by temporary foreign workers at a wage lower than any Canadian would accept. One lies on top of a huge pile of missing and murdered indigenous women but you refuse to look under that cow doing so would be committing Sociology. You institute a Universal Cheese Curd Benefit program but it only consists of doling out tiny cups of milk to every citizen with the expectation they will make their own cheese although you will expect repayment of half the milk at the end of the tax year. Each day you feed the cows less and less but expect more and more milk. The cows are getting thinner and thinner while you proclaim this is the route to prosperity. You can probably keep this lie going for about 15 years because the cows were nice and fat when you inherited them from the Liberals.

## Political policy

• American public education:
• You have a cow, an elephant, and a goat. It is self-evident to you that they can and should all give milk at the same rate.

• You have two cows. Creationists claim that they are persecuted because you are not teaching people that you have five.

• Scottish nationalism debate: You have two cows. You can't decide if your neighbour owns your cows or if you do and whether your neighbour would want them back or not if you move to a new farm. You also can't decide whether you've been giving your neighbour milk all these years or vice versa.

• Charles Dickens: In the village of Gower-upon-Frome, a nearly unknown hamlet in the midst of Dorset, you had two cows - and no common cows, but cows of such merit and breeding that the very sight of such beasts would cause a mere passer-by to acclaim their quality without prompt nor inquiry to any man, be he of strict consequence or not, stating that without a doubt, this pair of cows was amongst the finest ever to trod the grim pastures of southern Albion. As a verification of this seemingly remarkable claim, one need only approach the man known to his compatriots simply as 'Old Frimm', the farrier of Gower-upon-Frome, who from his youth was so acquainted with cows that one might remark that husbandry of these creatures ran through his blood, having been reared among them during his formative years in the farmlands of Northumbria, whence he learnt of their most intimate nature, and would attest to their superlative status not merely of his own testimony, but would swear that even the most docile of men would affirm this claim: the sort of man who, upon finding himself lost in the dismal alleys of Knightbridge in the dreary evenings following Michaelmass when the fog settled heavily upon the city, would not ask the kindly old man in the tobacconist to point him in the proper direction, but rather from a meek disposition would wander the streets of London until he happened upon that familiar lamp-post or cobblestone way that would point him toward Charing Cross, and from there back to his native abode wherein his meager bowl of porridge awaited him (by now long since cold)—yes, even such longanimous man as this would, given the opportunity, proudly and with prestigious spirit proclaim before the House of Lords that these two cows were the paragon of virtue and indeed amongst the most beneficent in all the land.

Eventually the bull and cow confess their love or each other, have spectacular South American Sex when the bull is mysteriously killed in incredible fashion by lightning in the shape of a fist. His blood seeps into the grass and forms an enormous pool. Any passing over head that day might have said it resembled a dove.

'Hullabaloo and Huzzanahs!' they cry amongst the parapets frowning renown and spewing bahooey where Paddy Doyle and the cobbler's stalls broke back the bottoms of boots. Snickeree!
