So
that's what everyone was talking about when they referred to the 'initiation ritual' when I joined the Bishop's.....
Hey, I was just helping that sheep over the fence!! Errr...that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Gotta insert the standard sheep joke here, it's kinda long, but worth it.
An English researcher hears rumors about what some shepherds do with thier flocks when alone out away from civilization for weeks at a time, so he decides to do some research, and heads out into the wilds to find a shepherd.
First he finds a shepherd out in the moors of England. So as delicately as he can, he asks if it's true about "what you do with the sheep"...
The shepherd replies, "Ya mean f*&k 'em? Oh aye, common knowledge 'round these parts. Ye just put thier back feet down inside yer boots so they can't run away, and go ta town, dontcha know!"
A bit astonished, the researcher travels up to the highlands of Scotland and asks the same question.
Sure enough, the Scottsman gives him the exact same answer. Even brags that the English learned the trick with the boots from Scottish shepherds!
Well, this just amazes the researchers, so he decides to take his investigation across the pond and ask some American shepherds the same question.
So he flies to Texas (tell me you didn't see this one coming...) and finds a sheep rancher (they aren't shepherds there!) and asks about his 'relations' with the sheep.
The Texan answers, "Well, I reckon just about all of us sheep ranchers got it good that way. Ya'll understand we do it right here though. Ya put the back feet in ya'lls boots, then you prop thier front legs up on your shoulders."
Well, the researcher is a bit confused by this change in technique, and asks, "why on your shoulders? In Great Britian, all the shepherds have sheep facing away and put thier feet in the boots to keep them from running away."
The Texan looks aghast, and says, "What?!?! and miss out on all the kissin'!?!?!"
