[Zakeet]

A novice rider is suing a rodeo company in Vernon over a bull named Slow Poke that he alleges failed to live up to its name and caused him serious injury.

[Snip]

[The plaintiff] is seeking damages and health-care costs.

"Contrary to representation, Slow Poke was violent," his claim reads.

[Zakeet]

They forgot to tattoo a warning label on the bull's a$$!

[MediaMole]

Irony is lost on so many people.

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be irony-challenged cowboys! /s;)

Maybe he should have started on Bucky the Wonder Horse with a blown spring. Might have been more his speed.

[Jagdgewehr]

Kid, you should of never advanced beyond this.

[Chode]

lucky he didn't draw Fernande

Call Tuff Hedeman and ask him about a bull named Bodacious.

All sorts of clowns at the rodeo these days.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

“Kyle Warman says he began beginner bull-riding lessons...”

That’s quite a name you have there Mr. Warman. With a name like that, you must be brave and fearless.

If you think he’s something, you should see his brother, Fast Poke.

[roamer_1]

Well... It’s a bull - That should be the main clue...

[Gator113]

As I recall, he lost his job. I wonder how his life has moved on....?

I’m pretty sure that this was the plot of a Phil Hendrie skit.

[bluejean]

Just great. Now it begins. What will completely safe, risk free rodeo look like in 5 years after the wimp a$$ liberals have their way with it? America is toast. I really am nearly out of optimism.

Note to Mr Warman: Target shooting, stunt
driving, and sky diving are other activities
you should avoid.

[minnesota_bound]

I guess he did not notice the bull was nearly 2,000 pounds in size either.

[Craftmore]

you just cant fix stupid,,,,,

[RichInOC]

I’ve never been on a bull in my life, and yet I understand that even the slower hunks of angry pot roast can mess you up.
