America's Mattress co-owner Jim Sather is left puzzled after a rustler stole Serta Mattresses' inflatable 14-foot sheep from their store here.
"I can't figure out what someone would do with a 14-foot sheep," Sather said. "It can't go in your basement and if it's in your back yard, your neighbor will notice. If it's target practice, it only lasts once."
All the thief or thieves left was a handwritten note at the scene of the crime that read: "For the sheep, bring peace to the earth."
Sather said their mascot is missed.
"He's the granddaddy of all sheep and there's a whole flock that will miss him," Sather said.
The sheep is labeled with a No. 1 and is worth an estimated $3,500.

Wasn't that cloned sheep's name Dolly? Kind of like Dolly Madison, only with more hair?She got the name Dolly because she was cloned from breast cells. You can guess which Dolly they meant.

Yes, Dolly died, though. I guess some men just can't get over their loss of sheep........

You know the difference between Mick Jagger and a Scotsman?
Mick Jagger said "Hey, You, Get Off of my Cloud!", and a Scotsman says "Hey, McLeod, get off of my ewe!"

There's so many things I find wonderful about this article, I don't know where to begin.
These clowns are my new heroes. Reminds me of when my friends and I stole the lower leg off the Viking statue out front of Jensen Beach elementary school (back in 1985).
What were we thinking? The statue's lower right leg had rusted at the knee and come loose from its base at the foot, so all we needed to do was pry it away from the body with little effort--then bungee cord it to the roof of my friend's Pinto. It would have been a flawless prank--but we probably shouldn't have done it mid-day, though... at least that's what the state trooper said.
It was a magnificent trophy, though--almost like the lamp in Christmas story, only with painted on leg hair and a strappy man-sandal.

"I can't figure out what someone would do with a 14-foot sheep," Obviously never been to a Montana fraternity party.

Sounds like a college prank.

Like Dolly P. said when asked if they were hers:
"They're mine, all right - bought and paid for."

When I was in the Navy and people learned that I was from Montana... Yeah, well imagine the grief I took back home as a Californian who went to MSU.

Society continues crumbling. Instead of "Embraceable You" we get "Inflatable Ewe". Ewwwww.
