Dave and Mabel received an invitation to the Snake Valley Fancy Dress Ball. They were wondering, what they could wear, when Dave remembered, that he'd slaughtered a cow a couple of weeks earlier and had hung the skin over the fence to cure. So, they decided they'd go as a cow, with Dave playing the front half and Mabel the back. The ball was a great success and Dave and Mabel won the prize for the most original cossie. It was well after midnight, when they took their leave and, as it was a fine moonlit night, they decided to take a short cut home across the paddock. Off they went, still dressed as a cow, with Dave in front and Mabel behind. Halfway across the paddock they were startled to hear a loud snorting and a stamping of hooves. "Christ", called out Mabel. "It's the bull. What'll we do?" "You better brace yourself, Mabel", said Dave. "I'm gonna start chewin' grass"
