Tease the toro, heed the horns.

Flint · 08-02-2007, 03:08 PM

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...

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....

spoil the child ruin the man

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.
