There were no cows in Australia until the English brought them there.

One of the English cows got loose and started wandering around, and encountered an Aborigine. The Aborigine, who had never seen a cow before, talked to it. When the cow said nothing in reply the Aborigine killed the cow for disrespecting him.

I read this some years ago and don't remember if it was a bull or a cow, but the story is not bull.

“Cow Tools” was infamous as a Far Side one panel comic, for perplexing thousands of readers, many of whom wrote letters to their respective newspaper editors about it. And the editors didn’t get it either.
