Relief as the Cows Upstairs Move Out Fri Aug 30,10:26 AM ET

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish woman has begun selling the cows she kept in upstairs apartments in the city of Trabzon, to the relief of her neighbors.

Local alderman Osman Terzi said health and safety officials had ordered the cows to be cleared out of the first and third floors of the building in the Black Sea port city.

"I have learned that Fatma Kocaman has started selling her cows, which is a very pleasing development," the Anatolian news agency quoted him saying on Thursday. It said she had kept "a large number" of cows there.

"It's hard to believe someone would keep cows in an apartment. For years me and the locals have wondered what to do...The area has suffered a lot. Noise, smell and manure everywhere make a very ugly scene," Terzi said.

Waiting till the cows leave home.....

"Noise, smell and manure everywhere make a very ugly scene."

But that's just one man's opinion.

I've heard that a cow will walk up a staircase but not down one.

So that begs the question, is she selling the cows whole or in parts?

Maybe Owners Associations aren't such a bad thing afterall. &;-)

This person has cousins who build race cars and play boom boxes next door to me.

Yeah, and their Aunt and Uncle (both 300+ lb fatties) used to live in the apt above the one I used to live in. I didn't need an alarm clock because as soon as one of their fat feet hit the floor in the morning I would think it was an earthquake.

I saw a picture once of a pedestrian freeway overpass in Turkey. The guy was crossing over the fence while the cow was using the overpass. Sometimes our cows are smarter than our people. Just sometimes..

Decades ago I lived in an apartment under some girls who always wore high heels. I could track their every move by the click click click of their spiked heels on the tile floors.

LOL! Who would've thought you had to specify "No Cows Allowed".

Wonder when mooooving day is. Sorry.
