    Actually, I have no beef with Samson owning a china shop.

    Ya gotta follow your dreams, let the chips fall where they may.

    It just might be a little too risky to have a steak in it.

    You might have seen the headline: “China Shop Owner Defies Stereotype.”

    Technically, an ox is a neutered bull used as a draft animal; a steer is a neutered bull raised for meat. You can convert an ox into a steer at any time, but after a steer has served his destined purpose, it’s kinda hard to convert him into an ox.

    The JAM — no problem. Thanks for saying you saw it

    Speaking of questions nobody answered -- c001, it’s “A bull in a china shop.”

    As you might infer from the discussion above, a bull is more likely to rampage in close quarters.

    That’s one reason oxen and steers are neutered -

    and, of course, why some male humans are … cough….. needlessly phobic about (cough) vasectomy (cough cough).

    And I also have had a few posts not show up, or even disappear an hour after posting.

    Other times, it takes them a few minutes to appear in the forum, sometimes temporarily doubled.

    Beware of either re-posting or deleting duplicates too soon. First refresh the whole page.
