AMERICAN MARRIAGE: You and your wife have accumulated four cows. Your wife starts to get milked on your neighbor's farm, and you file for divorce. The courts give her all four cows, and you owe her one cow per year for the rest of your life.
AN ANTI-DRUG WAR IDIOT: You have two cows growing up on a successful farm. A neighboring farmer comes over the fence and gives your cow's a free sample of "enchanced" grass. Your two cows think they can jump over the moon when they eat your neighbor's grass so they exchange all of their milk to your neighbor for more.
Day after day your two cows then lounge around producing only enough milk to exchange with your neighbor.
One night your two cow's, doped on grass, decide to cross the stream to get more; unfortunately they forget the stream is actually an eight lane interstate and end up plastered on the pavement. Oh well it was fun while it lasted."
