Welcome to MOOdbridge Farm. Where mad cows run amock.

- <MOOOOoooo> :

Farmer Fred( depressed, long face): hey doc, can i ask u a question, if it is true that my beloved cows are sick, how come they don't have any symptoms( besides being looney) and when will they actually die( make slicing motion to neck) and also can i go and see them for the last time, i really luv them a lot, and also will they be in alot of pain????????

Doctor: whoa, thats alot of qns by the way. ahem ( clear throat) firstly, they will not show symptoms so fast as Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad-cow disease,has a long incubation period, about 4 years, usually affecting adult cattle at a peak age onset of four to five years. so it is a good thing that we have found your infected cows fast enough to prevent an epidermic. death is quite impossible to prevent so u will have to prepare yourself for the worst.
And to answer your third qns: i am sorry, u will not be able to have any contact with them as this terrible disease can be spread to humans too and we ABSOLUTELY CANNOT RISK THAT!! meanwhile, we will be trying to keep ur cows as comfortable as we can. dont worry too much(pat on the head)

Farmer Fred: looks crestfallen as he stares at his cows

Frenzie:(starts chanting) hmm is that him or am i am seeing things... oh it is him, it is really him, the one i miss, the one i luv, farmer fred, oh how my hearts yearns for him, our owner, farmer fred!!!! other cows stand back and looking and shaking their head as she runs and bangs her head to the glass window where farmer fred is looking in.

Doctor: haizz, thats one that is definitely mad
