A TALIBAN FARMER: You bought two cows from your neighbor, who has 10,000 cows. Since they're both females, you mistreat them and completely cover their bodies in sackcloth even during the summer (lest they be spotted by your other neighbor, a lonely Taliban farmer). One cow endures this treatment, and gives milk anyway, but the other cow becomes sick, and gives no milk. Since you do not have a vet, you ask Mullah Mohammad Omar, who tells you that your rich neighbor must be a devil worshipper and has cast an evil spell on one of your cows. At his urging, you start a jihad against your neighbor, by sending wild animals into his land to take revenge on his cows, who succeed in killing a few of his cows before they're killed themselves. When your neighbor learns of this, he kills the Mullah, takes back his cows, and you spend the next 10 years working off your debt for the cows you killed.

As for the sick cow, your neighbor has it treated by the local vet, and it becomes one of the best milk producers of the herd.

Don't forget the sheep. Bin Laden has been spotted leaving town with his girlfriend.
