Animal Husbandry

A Kenyan City Councilman has offered forty goats and twenty cows to Bill Clinton in exchange for Chelsea’s hand in marriage.

Hey…don’t laugh. I have four daughters, and I very much doubt I’m going to get an offer anywhere NEAR as good for them. “Mr. David, I’d like to ask you for the hand of your daughter (Shana/Gwen/Ariel/Caroline) in marriage.” And if I say, “Yeah? How many goats we talking about? How many cows?” the guy’ll probably just give me a weird look while the daughter in question rolls her eyes and tells her intended, “Just ignore him. I told you he’d be like this.”

I bet I don’t get any livestock at all. The guy’ll just say “Don’t have a cow, man,” and think it’s all a joke, and I’ll be lucky if I wind up with a coupon for a free Big Mac. Plus I have to pay for the wedding to boot.

Anyone have that Kenyan guy’s phone number? I wonder if he’s the one who’s been writing to me about trying to get $5 million into the country if I just give him my bank account info.
