The government shutdown may be keeping furloughed federal workers at home, but on Monday the U.S. Army contracted to buy a mechanical bull.
The $47,174 contract was awarded on Oct. 7 to Mechanical Bull Sales Inc. of State College, Penn.
Lt. Col. Hank McIntire of the Utah National Guard tells CNSNews.com that the mechanical bull is regularly used as a tool by recruiters at fairs and other events.

Off topic but .The Army has become a joke . A recruiter came to my oldest boys schools and said the Army is there to help others around the world but when my boy asked about being there for Americans and the constitution the recruiter just ignored him.
