On the ambulance, we'd often have to transport medical patients out to bumfuck country land. Doesn't matter what direction you go in, eventually you're going to have miles-long fencelines by the freeway and herds of cows. We'd turn the PA system on and moo into it to see how many of them would look up. You'd be surprised how many do.

Though one day the shift supervisor said something to the effect of, "Don't moo at cows anymore, the farmers are complaining that it makes their dairy cows not produce milk."  :2funny:

QuoteMan wins OK to wear goat horns in driver's license photo
By MARINA VILLENEUVE
Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- An ordained Pagan priest finally has gotten the OK to sport goat horns in his Maine driver's license photo.

Maine resident Phelan Moonsong said that unless he's sleeping or bathing, he always wears his goat horns, which serve as his spiritual antennae and help him educate others about Paganism.

But Moonsong is questioning why he had to appeal his driver license's photo to the state after explaining his religious beliefs to Bureau of Motor Vehicle staff. Plus, he adds, the horns didn't obstruct his face.

The Maine Secretary of State's office said the state was not familiar with his choice of headdress and had asked Moonsong for more information to review the issue. A spokeswoman said the state allowed the goat horns because Moonsong cited their religious purposes and also because they didn't obstruct his face.

Maine motor vehicle staff can hold license photos for review if they have a concern about religious headdress.

Moonsong said after he applied for an updated driver's license in August and explained his religion to a motor vehicles employee, he was told to appeal his photo to the Secretary of State's office.

He said he provided more information to the Secretary of State's office. But when he contacted the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in late November, he said he was told his ID was rejected - which was news to him.

Moonsong then filled out an application for legal assistance from the American Civil Liberties Union, which recently told him it was unable to take his case.

"What I was requesting should have been accepted according to what was written in statute and in guidelines," he said.

It should be no different than a nun wearing a habit, or a Sikh wearing a Turban, Moonsong said.

But, he said, he was happy to receive his new driver's license last week.

My Brother-In-Law has cows. He usually just blows his truck horn. It's easier on the vocal cords.

An appropriate use of technology.

Well that guy looks so much like a goat anyway, why not with the horns? What I want to know is how does he press the gas pedal with cloven hooves?

No no. They rolled there by themselves. Like they do into the side of my truck when I park a quarter mile from any at Wal-Mart.

Then I find it extremely disturbing how well organized this bunch was. I fear the beginning of CartNet.
