Cows flee after seeing McDonald's
The Associated Press
WEST HAVEN, Utah --McDonald's? The burger joint? Stampede! Eight cows escaped from a trailer when the rear gate opened as the driver pulled into a McDonald's. It took about two hours to round them up Monday.
"Maybe they were going to ... hop in the freezer, save the middleman," Weber County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Creager said.
Lt. Kevin Burns had another theory: "They didn't like their future."
The roundup was called "Operation Hamburger Helper." A nearby resident even hopped on his horse.
"I thought my eyes were lying," said Wayne Sanders, who was at a truck stop next door. "I don't know where they came from, but I'd say they'd have to weigh 800 pounds apiece and they were on a pretty good trot."

I guess California cows aren’t really all that happy after all.

It was all part of the International Cow Conspiracy - they were escaping from the Cow Matrix!

I saw your post out of the corner of my eye, and I thought you said “Cow Marx.” For some unrelated reason, I then thought of Hillary.

The McDonald’s in my neighborhood offers home delivery...if you are not home, they just slide the hamburger under your door.

Cow Marx was a front, an unwitting political tool of The Overherd.

I thought of Hillary too when I saw “they didn’t like their future” I thought of Cattle Futures.
