Bucking Bovine & Texas Ho-Down

NEVER HERD ANYTHING SO FUNNY …

Like many 15-year-old girls, Regina Mayer really wanted a horse, but her parents said no, even though they live on a farm in Laufen, Germany. So the girl has been training a substitute: a cow.

It took about six months of careful training before Regina tried to get on the heifer for a ride, but now Luna even understands commands like “gallop” and “stand”.

Everyone else, by now very scared, had their eyes fixed on the floor. The robber snarled, “Well? Did anyone else see my face?”

There was a long moment of silence, with everyone afraid to speak. Then, one old cowboy, still keeping his head down, raised his hand cautiously and said, “My wife got a pretty good look at you …”
