There’s a lot to be said about people with a sense of humour. You can say things like “He’s not all that funny really,” or “Go on, tell us a joke then,” or “I don’t get it.” Or you could just have a chuckle and think no more about it.

But ocassionally you come across a few sites that make you wonder whether or not that writer would survive in  the Aussie bush and the farmlands. I mean, we’re all people here, but we’re most definitely not the same.

This fellow for example, a spanking monkey, has been having a whinge about a fart. Not just the fart, but his own inability to respond to it in anyway.

I had to laugh. This fellow definitely couldn’t work with cattle. When you’re working with cows, and you have them held tightly in the crush they have three means of defending themselves from anything you might have to do. If you’re up the front end, then they can try to thrash. If that doesn’t work, they can sit down and make everything more difficult for you.

But if you’re round the back end for any reason, then their most effective form of self defence is their digestive sytem. They will attempt to urinate on you, with force, and if that doesn’t work they will keep shitting until you let them go. But they can and will fart as well, with splatter and a very yeasty smell.

You get used to it and stop thinking about it after a while, but I couldn’t help  but wonder about this monkey-man’s reaction if he ever had to get milk fresh from the cow himself. A good light read, if you have the time to read his somewhat lengthy posts.
