Yet more fun with Yvonne, the fugitive cow

From The Mirror:

PLANS to lure a runaway cow out of a forest with a bull failed when rescuers realised the bull was castrated.

Animal rights groups brought in Ernst to tempt Yvonne, who escaped 12 weeks ago while on her way to a sausage factory*, without noticing he had been given the snip to make him calm.

Yvonne has been running free in a forest in Bavaria, Germany, with a herd of deer but police want her shot. Animal lovers say they will bring in another bull and have offered thousands for the cow’s safe capture.


* I'm sure there's a joke in here somewhere, along the lines of "Maybe she wants a sausage inside her instead of being inside a sausage", or something.

Smutty jokes M, tsk, tsk. I'm sure they could have discussed the flower arrangements or something.

It gets better and better though -

Ch, that article says that Waltraud was Yvonne's sister rather than her best friend. Hmm. maybe W was her "favourite sister"?

JM, it's even better than Elsa who trotted back home after a few months with a young calf.

MikeW, can you squeeze "Bovine buffoonery" into that?
