2/6/2004: Cow unexpectedly walks through bank

Oh sure, in India this might not be unusual, but this one happened in Germany. According to this Ananova story, the cow escaped from a nearby wedding, where the groom had employed it as a joke to provide guests with fresh milk in place of champagne. And then it walked into a bank.



"The animal was a nice customer," a bank spokeswoman told Bild newspaper. "It behaved, was friendly and didn't even knock anything over."

That would be as opposed to a cow EXPECTEDLY walking through a bank.

Wonder if it made any deposits while it was there??

I love the quote from the spokesman, that is fantastic.

It wanted to see if they were using Gateways

I bet it was looking for the china shop.

So it could get funky with the bull?

Looking for a bull market?

HEY! Who opened the Schlitz Malt Liquor(tm)?

Moonich?

That cow is gonna milk the publicity from this for all it's worth...

I'm loving all these bad puns that are flying...tee hee. This is just one of those situations where they are necessary.

wow

Holy cow, she sure seems to be moooving fast! If I hadn't seen the pics I would say this story was a load of bull!

maybe she needed some moooola?


( sorry, I couldn't resist )

Welcome to the Cellar, Olikat. I wonder what a cow will do with a free toaster?

I hope it wasn't that bank from "Bowling for Columbine" where you get a free gun.

From the sound of the spokesperson's quote, they didn't really have much of a beef with Bossy...

Hah...:p

when i was living in Dubbo (in Australias NSW country farming area) i was sittin in my office and a kangaroo hopped past my desk! it went down into the back tea room and just stood in the corner. It stayed for quite a time and even started to mess up some of our filing that was stacked there. All my fellow co-workers were too scared to go and shoo it out so we had to call a WIRES volunteer to capture it, and take it back out of the town.

I'm quite fond of kangaroos and have found out they can be quite nasty bastards ...

they are cute, and the joes are darlings..
but the big red ones are V scary, they box and wrestle if they feel threatened and can stand on their tails while they pumble you with their gigantic feet. the one in our office was a red kangaroo, about 4.5 feet tall. it wouldnt have been that bad had my boss not taken a happy snap of the poor darling and made it go mental with the flash

My wife had a pet cow

She raised it from a calf, and it followed her everywhere... except inside buildings. :-)

Bad news was that her step-dad had it slaughtered, and she developed a case of Bell's Palsy for a while after that.

She still likes cows. We even have a set of cow dishes that are kinda cute.
