You see a cow every day of your life

This is starting to annoy me -

Someone told me an interesting stat:- you see a cow every day of your life. Maybe a real one, maybe an image, figurine, toy, carton of milk, or something related like a cow print -whatever.

Now I can't live my life without trying not to see cows. I buy milk that has a tractor on it instead of a cow or cowprint.

I live in London for gods sake. There shouldn't be this many cows around.

Now that you know this you will have to tell everyone you know to pass on the mental torture. How many cows have you seen today...?

I live near Lancaster, PA. There's goddam cows in the streets, in the fields, on the milk, on the cheese, on...everything. We're just cow crazy.



Damn those Amish.

Never heard of this before but I'm sure to keep a lookout now. Half a block from my parent's home in San Jose there are some cows on a farm. I'm sure they see them all the time. Go figure.

If you live on or near a farm I guess it doesn't really work for obvious reasons, but I live in a city of 7.5 million people, rarely venture to the countryside, and therefore don't expect to see that many cows.

I got a birthday card with a stamp with a cow on it for instance...

Are the cows trying to tell me something

When I had surgery on my elbow this summer, I woke up, at six, (no breakfast, no milk cartons), went to the out-paitient dealy while it was still dark out...had surgery, went home, took some meds, and slept the rest of the day through the night.

On that day im 100% sure I saw no cows.

(and probably countless other times)

I pass a field full of cows on my way to work every single day. On days I don't go to work I still go by them but it's usually when foraging for beer.

I go for drives around Amish country, and hit a lot of country roads with cows.

PA certainly has cow representation.

Yeah I heard this one about 4 years back passed it on to my family and for like a month straight none of us ever went a day without seeing one. But one fateful day even while looking for a cow...never saw one. Drove to work. came home and nothing.
But it's pretty hard not to see any cow in these parts.
Lot's of Texas Longhorn and Houston Texans fans around here. Add into that those stupid Chick Fila ads with the cows it's almost imposible now to go without seeing one.

I live in central Illinois (for school), it's kind of inevitable that I see cows everyday.
But this does bring up an interesting point, I'm gonna keep a tally from now on.

yeah, come to think of it i can't recall seeing a cow today but, on a normal day I would say I see many cows, and probably many images of cows. It doesn't bother me at all to know that my milk and other dairy products are produced locally.

Since we have cows on the milkcartons here, it's probably true. It was especially true this summer when we had the Cow Parade in town. There was cows everywhere!

You think you got a good cow representation, I live in the middle of Wisconsin, the Dairy State. I know a guy that was in the hospital for a week when he hit a cow in his car. Between the cows and the deer the streets just ain't safe!!

In college we used to have cows break loose and come into our yard all of the time. I jumped the deck once and ran after them until thinking that there might be a bull mixed in there too.

Hadn't seen one today until this post though. Damn!!!

I hate to say it but I've seen 3 cow pictures today. I am glad to say it's only because I have lots of kids toys with animals on them or toy animals. This means that of course anything with a farm animal theme pictures a cow somewhere. Otherwise it seems the rest of my house is pretty much cow free. I've not been out of the house today yet so haven't seen any cows outside. If I were though I'm sure I'd see a cow. That's a large part of our bigger industry in Wisconsin - cheese industry must include milk cows. In the past 5 month's 2 cows were even in our news - Got out of their fences and got hit on the roads. There's no escape for me.

Here in PA we have more cows then the all the trailer parks in other states combined. Same goes for pigs.

You cant drive anywhere here (non-interstate roads) w/out passing by a farm. I personally like it.
