bullet  Udderly Ridiculous Photo

Sometimes the photo that goes with a story is funnier than the story. Sometimes the story is pretty good all by itself. This one, from the 19 October 2008 issue, is a toss-up: I'm not sure which part is funnier. First, the story:

Udderly Ridiculous

Police in Middletown, Ohio, responded to a disturbance and found Michelle Allen, 32, running around the street wearing a cow suit. They advised her to go home. Instead, she impeded traffic, chased children, and urinated on a resident's porch, so officers felt they had no choice but to arrest her. Allen, who police say smelled of alcohol, was given a month in jail for disorderly conduct. (Oxford Press) ...A cow suit? Funny, but she was acting more like a horse's ass.

Wait! Don't scroll down yet!

Put down your milk (or coffee) before scrolling to view the two photos (but go slow enough that you see one at a time. Trust me: it's worth it. Really.


Here's her mug shot, courtesy of the Middletown Police:

I'm just as confused as you Randy. The first comment I read was the one about the suit being on backwards. I had to go back up and look at the photos. Then I had to read all the comments to see WHY??? anyone would think the suit was on backwards. That's just too funny! Kudos to the comment about the "drunk and disudderly conduct." That's my favorite!

Randy, the suit is not backwards so much as upside down. (Her head should be in the suits rear-end to match the intelligence of the act)...
