I have always enjoyed the Cows series by Gary Larson, The Far Side.

Here's a different take on Cows:

Lesson In Political Science

You have two cows.
Your neighbor has none.
You feel guilty for being successful.
Barbara Streisand sings for you.

Your neighbor has none.
So?

The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow.

The government seizes both and provides you with milk.
You wait in line for hours to get it.
It is expensive and sour.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE
You have two cows.
You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE
You have two cows.

other, and then pours the milk down the drain.

AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one.

when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you
have downsized and are reducing expenses.
Your stock goes up.

produce twenty times the milk.

The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.

TALIBAN
You have all the cows in Afghanistan, which are two.
You don't milk them because you cannot touch any creature's private parts.
You get a $40 million grant from the US government to find alternatives to
milk production but use the money to buy weapons.

IRAQI
You have two cows.
They go into hiding.
They send radio tapes of their mooing.

FLORIDA

Everyone votes for the best looking one.
Some of the people who actually like the brown one best accidentally vote
for the black one.
Some people vote for both.
Some people vote for neither.

Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you which one you think is
the best-looking cow.
