    Pardon my ignorance, but do we tip cows the standard 15-20%?

      It's been my experience that city folks believe cow tipping is a daily activity out there on the farm...why spoil their fun?

      I'd say 10% for standing on its nose - 15% for sitting up on its rear - and only 5% for a sidewinder.

        I was actually in stitches reading that smart car tipping article...they deserve everything they are getting right about now...live by the sword, die by the sword.

        Let's see someone tip over my 2001 Dodge Durango....and it's 4500 lbs of V-8 powered american steel. Can you say hernia surgery? I knew you could.

        Kay when I was a kid and had friends from the city staying over, every now and then one would want to go cow tipping.
        I always got a laugh out of watching them run around the pasture screaming when the cows mooed loudly and ran off.

          I always wanted to put people like that in a field with a fainting sheep. Then when the sheep fell over, you'd scream "OMG, what did you DO to him"...

            I have to admit that fainting sheep would be a surprise to me. I've seen fainting goats, but I haven't seen fainting sheep yet.

            Maybe the sheep weren't really fainting and were just falling asleep because they were counting each other?

              ...or maybe I mean goats instead of sheep. Probably....

              I've tried counting sheep to get to sleep but it doesn't work - I always see a cute lambie-pie and want to pet it and then I'm wide awake again.

      Cow pies, anyone? Tell the city slickers how good they are!

      I spent a couple weeks on my aunt's ranch when I was a teenager (way back when). The calves had caught something like pink eye and had to be treated. It took four or five of us to medicate each calf and that was quite the wrestling match.

      I think cow-tipping was just another one of the jokes told in all seriousness by the country folk to the gullible.

      My favorite cow (joke) poetry was: Damn the Electric Fence.

        I grew up in a farming area. Every now and then driving down a country road you'd run into some cows on the road. You'd get out of the car - put them back in the fence if you could or get them off the road and alert the farmer to the problem.

        Had a college friend from Philly with me on a visit home. When we came upon 3 cows loose by the road she wouldn't get out of the car because "they might bite me". She thought I was very brave.
