I saw this news report on the wire and it reminded me of a Hemingway novel I had read in college.

Anyways...maybe we could convince the Spanish that muslim jihadists are really just bulls, and then they could step up and give them the coup de grasse instead of cowering in fear and voting into power appeasing socialist politicians.

Just a thought.

Exactly how is this more civilized than dog fighting?

I spent a year in Spain and went to one bullfight just to people watch. Totally disgusting. I walked out of it numb. I’m reminded of one of my favorite jokes.

**********
A big Texan cowboy stopped at a local restaurant following a day of drinking and roaming around in Mexico. While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, but the smell was wonderful..

He asked the waiter, “What is that you just served?” The waiter replied, “Ah Senor, you have excellent taste! Those are bull’s testicles from the bullfight this morning. A delicacy!”

The cowboy, undaunted, said, “What the heck, I’m on vacation, I’ll have some!” The waiter replied, “I am so sorry Senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bullfight each morning. If you place your order now, we will be sure to save you this delicacy for tomorrow”

The cowboy placed the order and the next evening he was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, and inspecting the contents of his platter, he called to the waiter and said, “These are delicious, but they are much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday”

The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Si, Senor ... sometimes the bull wins.”

I watched a bullfight in Monterrey in about 1960, as a boy, it made no sense to me.

All I saw was a long brutal, boring, process and I could not figure out what the payoff for the audience was, it was liking watching a kid pull parts off of an insect, you watch what he is doing, and you watch his face, and you can’t figure out what is pleasing him about the act.

The only thing that I could figure out is that they enjoy the suffering and torment/frustration of the bull.

I’m also old enough to remember that American men were proud of being “masculine”, and described Latin cultures using the derogatory term “Macho”.
