Kickass, the doorstop dog, is helpless to avoid the keeper’s mind swing that takes him from the current news of feeding seaweed to cows to decrease their methane production, to his farm boy days of harnessing horses to pull the loaded manure sled out into a wind-swept field and then using a manure fork to spread the sled’s contents, being careful, of course, not to toss any of the cow/bull crap into the wind.
What a valuable lesson!
Unfortunately, the lesson did not take with the keeper who, as a newspaper columnist, made a career out of tossing bull crap into the wind.
To this day, however, he could harness a horse with his eyes shut. Some lessons are never forgotten.
