Man's Best Friend
My wife said I treated Tobasco better than I treated the kids. I walked him three times a day.
I took him water skiing and skydiving. I fed him rib tips and chili for dinner. He's ridden shotgun
in my Ferrari more than my wife. She has a conniption because I gave Tobasco a 24-karat gold
funeral with a sterling silver tombstone and cremated her mother. The heifer didn't like me anyway.
Tobasco didn't complain about dinner, clothes, and require $1000 cell phones. He didn't fail in
school and talk back. Excuse me while I cry and blow snot everywhere.

The Hell Cow
She was no ordinary cow. You could tell immediately by the indecent way she chewed her cud. She almost licked her lips with anticipation. She understood it was wrong, but she chewed anyway.
No heifer had ever embraced all seven deadly sins with such fervor. She had long ago discarded her pastoral virtues, no longer content to play her role of milk-giver. She delighted in corrupting others from her herd. There was no possibility of redemption, and woe to anyone who crossed her path.
And there she was, the infernal bovine, munching the grass in my front lawn. Damn her.
