Tease the toro, heed the horns.

ba-zzzing!

We had a book when I was a kid, "Don't Tease the Weasel" (now I've told you twice; the weasel wouldn't like it, and teasing ins't nice ...)

Those weasels are so temperamental. Always poppin', when the monkey thought twas all in fun.

Flint 08-02-2007 03:13 PM

Having a weasel pop you in the monkey isn't so bad...

Right on. Why have they been running with the bulls for hundreds of years? Because it's dangerous. The adrenaline rush, showing their bravery... and too drunk to think straight.

If nobody ever got hurt, there wouldn't be much point, so these brothers from the US have done their part to insure the tradition will continue.
Actually, the running is much more fair to the bulls than the bullfights later in the day.

If you don't grab the bull by the horns, the bull will grab you with their horns!

Red Tshirt? $20
Running Shoes? $150
Keg of Beer? $100
Bull horn in the leg? Priceless!

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

You just might be on to something there glatt.

A horn in the knee is worth two in the butt?

xoxoxoBruce 08-02-2007 07:45 PM

Don't mess with horny males unless you want to be gored.

Run the Bulls, Ruin the Balls

Hoof Hearted 08-02-2007 09:25 PM

Run the bulls, risk the balls...?

monster 08-02-2007 09:38 PM

Too wishy-washy. "Sayings" are always very definite about the dire consequences....

starve a cold feed a fever
spoil the child ruin the man

Sundae 08-04-2007 07:00 AM

If you run with the bulls you better have spare balls

DanaC 08-04-2007 10:39 AM

People with glass balls shouldn't run with bulls in a china shop......hmmm....I'll keep working on it.
