This young urban couple gets invited to a costume party at a friend's house out in the country. They think it would be a great gag to come in a two-person costume, so they decide to rent one of those cow costumes where the guy can be the front two legs and head and his wife can hunch over him and become the back and two hind legs. On the way to the party they realize they had not practiced walking in the costume, so they stop at a nearby field, get out of the car, climb over a fence, don the costume and begin stomping around the field trying to get the hang of walking together in the costume. Suddenly the wife who is hugging her husband around the waist trying to get in step with him looks out through some eye slits and spies a bull approaching. "Oh no," she shrieks. "There's a bull coming our way and he looks real mean. We'll never make it back to the car in time. What're we going to do?" The husband quickly sizes up the situation. "Uh, uh," he stammers. "I'm gonna eat some grass. I think you better brace yourself."

Just goes to show ya, even MSFT can do something stupid. Kinda reminds me of Meriel Streibert ([sp]-whatever) "If you open an account, your first trade is commission free." Remind you, this was before the on-slaught of online trading. Well, I "A-CATed" a butt-load of IBM over to Merriel during the promotion and made my single larget trade in the history of my 36 year old (back then) life.... then cancelled my account. LOL..... and now Microsoft thinks they can re-invent the wheel? LOL, MSFT would do better calling Ronco and joint venturing the windows-a-matic, "the perfect gift," before they try to pull a fast one again on the informed stock trader. BAD BILL........BAD!!!!!
