Reminds me of a NYC sheep story.

Back in the 70’s Herman Miller was introducing a new line of premier office furniture. Their next big thing was the return of wool upholstry. I managed to snag tickets to the big cocktail party in the GM building for the free drinks and food. They had female and male Ford Agency models walking around with food and drink trays. Some bright young spark thought having a dozen or so live sheep wandering through the crowd would score a PR coup.

Well, you can imagine what happened. That was funny enough but when the beautiful models did the Playboy dip cleaning up the mess with champagne glass scoops and silver trays things got real lively as the tux clad male males tried wrangling the then frightened sheep.

Best industry party ever.

LOL!

How the New York and Los Angeles cocktail crowd loves making fun of us people in flyover country.

But there is nothing on earth funnier than seeing these people try to wrangle sheep, chickens, cattle or any type of livestock.

Not even watching them try to back a trailer down a long driveway, which does come darn close.
