What Would You Do If a Purple Cow Appeared in Your Room?


If a purple cow suddenly acknowledged its presence in my room, I would dance around in ecstatic jubilation.

Purrple cows are one of the least well understood animals. They like it that way. Well, the cows themselves aren't that difficult to comprehend. The disernment problem arises when they start to do what they do best - be themselves. Purple cows don't operate in the same physical realm that us humans know and love. They were put down on this earth a full day before man, and used that do to the utmost of its effectiveness. They know everything. They have mastered the control of the earth's idiosyncricies.

"First, and foremost, forget everything you learned in junior high."

"That wont take long. What did I learn in Junior high?"
