Why Sheep?


Q. After looking into this wonderfully gleefull chat forum for the first time, you will notice numerous references to sheep, usually when someone asks a serious questions. What conclusions can you draw from this?

A. Here are a few:

(A) We prefer to talk about sheep rather than work.

(B) Sheep are cute and evoke happy thoughts.

(C) It could have been bumblebees, horse radishes, or presidential interns, etc. But sheep, ahhh, now that's a worthy topic of conversation!

(D) Utah suffers from a great lanolin deficiency.

(E) Sheep are cleverly disguised aliens who are assessing our military capability and intelligence, waiting for the right moment to, um, you know, take off their sheep's clothing.

(F) Sheep are like people, they come in different sizes and colors, but all taste the same with mint jelly. They are all equal, and tasty in a pistachio crust. No, wait, that's not right.

(G) "The Silence of the Clams" just doesn't sound as menacing.

(H) "Sheep" has no anagrams or hidden numerological significance, it is pure, unadulterated, sheep.

(I) Serious questions are ultimately the result of issues with sheep, rather than technical issues like a bad NSS volume identifier, or invalid Border Manager filter configurations.

(J) Sure, cashmere and angora are nice, but if you want wool, you need sheep.

(K) Novell and sheep go together like, uh, ummm...

(L) Sheep form tight knit families and sweaters.

(M) Sheep are known to follow wireless web phone users into the oddest places. Whereupon the wireless web phone user takes a couple slices of bread from a loaf and puts the rest back.

(N) Think of easily cloned mammals: Sheep! Followed by pigs and telemarketers as close seconds.

(O) Think of weird sock puppets: Lambchop! That stupid dog from Pets.com is now used to degrease engines at the Jiffy Lube. Lambchop lives forever.

(P) It wasn't a "Pig of God" it's "Lamb of God."

(Q) The internal arrangement of stomachs in a sheep are identical to the Intel '486 tag associative cache memory system.

(R) Richard A Kiel Memorial Abend #27, duh! Who do you think caused that... the sheep of course!

(S) Cows are just inelegant.

(T) Sheep... dogs... Sheep... dogs...

(U) Sure, cats are nice, but they are no sheep!

(V) Mint jelly and lobster? I think not!

(W) Australia!

(X) Ever hear a cat in heat? Sheep are pleasant to listen to even when under the influence of strong biological urges.

(Y) How do sheep travel? Ship shape sheep ships.

(Z) Sheep are da bomb diggidy.

*Cashmere comes from a smelly goat, yuk!
