The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 18, 2020

How could they know?

Well, we know it’s a 100% wool sweater and a 100% leather belt.

Gee, if only gift giving was that simple!!

The Gift of the Magi—-O. Henry

Every year, she makes him sweat. Then he belts her.

The sheep is involved, the cow is committed.

Only one out skin in the game.

The cow’s outside! :-0

LOL! This is too funny!

Rick cowrinthian leather.

Hence the origin of the term “my better half.”

The cow misunderstood when they said “Give ’till it hurts!”

And yet neither is wearing a sweater OR a belt.

Beats a box of Omaha Steaks…

What bothers me is that wool grows back, but a cowhide belt is made of cowhide—which is leather made from skin. Grisly to contemplate, and the skin won’t grow back.

If my wife dressed like the sheep, it would be a happy anniversary indeed!

It’s the thought that counts!

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

He’s giving her a bunch of bull and she’s trying to pull the wool over his eyes.

Not fair. The sheep gave up a little wool, but a cow died to give a leather belt. Assuming it was leather.

When you care enough to give a little of yourself.

The belt’s gonna be too big and the sweater’s gonna be too small!

Dr. Ludwig Leopold von Holstein shouldn’t have allowed them to have a home life. His enhanced cows and sheep. Ultimately the cows became farm hands over use of robots. To a lesser extent the altered sheep as part of farming as processors for the vegetable and plant matter. Some call them “sheep worms” for their appearance. Though they are patterned along the lines of millipedes not worms.

All in the mythical land of Shangra-Li not too far from Shangra-La.
