Ah, Shriners. The following image is indelibly etched in my mind...

It was about 25 years ago, and the local dairy farmers were holding their annual "Cows on the Concourse" event on the Wisconsin State Capitol grounds during June dairy month. It was a Saturday, the farmer's market was in full swing, a parade was in progress around the square, and a small herd of Holsteins was being milked on the east side.

A contingent of Shriners on go-carts stopped directly in front of the cud-chewing beasts and went into their routine. The wide-eyed cows stared in amazement as the men in red fezz circled around rapidly, popping wheelies and whatnot. One of the bovines arched her tail, and an alert attendant jammed a five-gallon white bucket under her rear just in time to intercept the incipient fresh cow pie. Then the Shriners moved on.
