That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 11, 2021

That girl is bound to be disappointed after spending all that time with the bulls.

Chance couldn’t make his move with that jealous bull watching over them.

The woman and the bull have matching, strangely intense expressions.

That seems like one of the places I would most want to keep my shoes on.

“Maybe if we look away from it and breathe through our noses, it won’t smell the flame-grilled Whoppers on our breath.”

“I don’t want to sound like a cow-ard, but do you think that steer has a beef with us being in its pasture?”“Nah, I think that’s a bunch of bull.”

Europa had to tell Phoenix about her affair with Zeus, but it wasn’t going to be easy.

“Ya know Tom,ya can’t roller skate in a Buffalo herd. “

What is truly remarkable here/ is their absolute absence of fear/ if I met such a bull/ my pants would be full/ ..but perhaps this one’s just a “bum steer “.

Maybe they are all watching the approach of the hunters

One of them must have farted.

You said “Come on over baby we Really got the bull by the horn.”….and I thought you had that new 45 by Jerry Lee Lewis. Well I got news for you Romeo…..there ain’t going to be a whole lotta shaking going on!

Makes me think of this image: https://9gag.com/gag/aV0owbK

“When you bragged about your ‘Taurus’ I thought you were talking about a family-sized Ford.”

Come on baby, cows do it……

Looking over a bunch of pictures of his paintings, I think he used that same bull as a model at least three times. Yes—that’s a lot of bull!

The bull was understandably shocked to overhear one of the humans reveal that they were dreaming of the day he would be slaughtered, his hide tanned into leather and made into shoes for them. Suddenly—the hay, the barn, the electric fence—everything made sense. But just how far back did this dark conspiracy go? “I’ll get to the bottom of this,” he vowed, “or my name isn’t Genuine Leather Uppers!”

Actually it’s the bull that’s speaking.

This is a “last picture of them alive”.

The right rear leg on the bull just doesn’t look right.

It appears the only ones outstanding in their field are the bulls.

The pot was so strong that Travis and Alicia were not even aware of the bull’s approach. Travis figured, that the snorting was Alicia clearing her throat after that heavy bong hit.

Oh, don’t trample on his dreams. Let the bull do it.

Is she blind?

Umm, perhaps they should not have chosen THAT pasture for a tryst…

BECKY THATCHER: Hmmm. I thought it would be, I don’t know…better than that.

TOM SAWYER: I ain’t complainin’. Well, I better be goin’. There’s something important I gotta tell Huck. And Jim. And ere body else I know. You stay here and get used to being known now as Becky Snatch-er.

Why didn’t you take the blue pill earlier!

Kids, let me tell you about the time me and your ma ignored the “Splash Zone” sign…

When the bull charged, did your life flash pasture eyes?

Let’s go to Pamplona he says – for the running of the bulls. But that was last month!

“It was lucky that there were so many cushions in the pasture. The one I’m sitting on is heated!”

No, I don´t want buffalo chips with my wings.

That was when the shroom’s kicked in.

Facebook Friend of mine just posted, “What this country needs is a Limericist Laureate” (sorry, he didn’t elaborate further). Any nominations?

Herdsmen, huh! Who’s watching who?

Y’know Becky. Watching what the bull did with the cow gives me an idea.

Becky: (Uh-oh. I was afraid this would happen)

The herdsman! She came all this way because she thought they said HARDman.

Heidi seeing Ralph’s “member” . I think I’ll go with the bull.

Hilarious :^)..

Not all who wanted to participate in the “Running of the Bulls” qualified. Some were immediately put out to pasture.

Well, not much going on here. You want to go check out the south 40?

“See Becky when the bull swishes his tail it chases the flies away, go ahead and take the rest of your clothes off.”
