And you aren’t the least bit embarrassed? In more civilized countries, a joke like that would receive punishment...

Because that outfit dropped Rush when he was talking about that slut. No REAL MAN would support that company.

Local farms that tried water beds got rid of them. What worked best is rubber grindings filled bags. $130 each.

Getting them water beds was bad enough, but the nightstands with the Lava Lamps are entirely too much!

Those waterbeds for cows have been out close to 20 years...made of thick, very tough rubber material to withstand the hoofs, etc.
A local dairy farm was equipped with them, and also had all the milking of hundreds of cows done by robot milking machines, which needed no direct human operation.
Feeding, etc. was all controlled by computer; each cow being recognized by the computer when she entered the milking stall by an ID tag on their neck chain. The computer knew how much milk she produced daily, how much feed she needed, etc.
A family squabble caused its downfall. Now the cows are all gone, the dairy store, gift shop, farm market is closed and someone else has leased the ground and is doing crop farming, only. All because of feudin’ over money!
