I want a mad dancing cow! : )
e -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart To: CF-Community Sent: 12/13/2001 2:58 PM Subject: The Case of The Lost Cow Funny Anecdote: Well, after looking for a christmas present for one N. S., I finally found the perfect gift. A Mad, Dancing Cow toy. That night, on the way home, I suddenly remembered the cow had not been in my trunk when I'd last opened it! Frantic and having a bit of a cow myself, I jumped on my cell, not realising the time, and dialed one S. K. "Hello! The COW! Do you have the Cow!?" I cried excitedly. "what?" Was the sleepy, quiet voice on the other end. "The Cow! I...I've lost the cow..." I added, my voice taking on a note of distinct distress,"Do you have it?" "Umm...Angel. No..I don't have it. " came her voice again. " Oh...oh where can it be..I don't believe it..I lost the COW!" I cried, absolutely distressed at this point that she didn't have it. Then my mind went back to the afternoon, and I recalled going to the Grocery, and leaving the cow package with the package girl behind the counter," The Grocery!" I cried triumphantly. "ok. We will call them tomorrow." came the voice from the other end," Bye." Before the connection went dead, I heard a quiet Steeeeeuuups. So, this morning I went to the grocery, and hurriedly bounced inside (Mad, Dancing Cows are NOT CHEAP you see!?) and went up to the package counter. "I've come for my cow!" I announced. The girl behind the counter blinked a few times, and looked at her companion, before turning to look at me once more. I realised she must be hard of hearing, so I prompted again, with a few gestures this time, indicating the height of the said cow," A cow....a Mad Dancing Cow...it was in a little plastic bag and I left it here yesterday evening...is it still here!?" The girl behind the counter took a few steps backward, and the security guard casually strolled closer to the counter. I was becoming most annoyed at the reticence of this girl, so I said again, quite slowly, "I left a little dancing cow here yesterday...this is the number..do...you.....have.....it?" She finally found her voice and said," A Cow...yuh..yuh leave a cow behind the counter yesterday? Wha kinda cow it was??" I gestured some more whilst saying," It was a dancing Cow! A MAD DANCING COW! And I have the package number slip, so it must still be here, no one could have taken it! Do I have to speak to the manager? Please check for the cow!" It seemed to finally register on the little pea brained person that I had left a package there. She seemed quite relieved and said," Oh! A package..a Dancing cow TOY!". I nodded, happy that this seemed to have finally seeped through her addled little mind. After a bit of searching, she produced the bag, and asked to see the contents, apparently not believing that a cow could be that small perhaps? It was only afterward that I thought back on what I had said, and how it must have sounded. Of course I erupted with laughter when I realised just how strange I must have sounded!
