Small towns plus police scanners equals humor
Welcome back!
It can be funny listening to a police radio scanner -especially if you live in a small town. Yesterday afternoon the police dispatcher called on one of the officers to check out a report of some cows out on the highway. When the officer got to the area in question, he called the dispatcher and said that the cattle belonged to one of two people and asked her to call both people and ask them to check their cattle. The dispatcher asked him to describe the cows. The funny part of the officer’s answer was more in his tone of voice than in his words. He got very sarcastic sounding and said, “They’re BIG. And they’re WHITE”.
Maybe it just sounded funny to me because I’m a city boy. Someone I know who works at a feed store selling cattle supplies explained that white cows are a breed called charolais and if the people she called didn’t own any charolais cattle then these cows weren’t theirs.
