58: The Society for Indecency to Naked Animals (Patreon Bonus)

58: The Society for Indecency to Naked Animals (Patreon Bonus)

Alan Abel was driving down a Texas highway when traffic came to a sudden stop. As it turned out, a herd of cattle was crossing the road. How annoying! Then – shock of all shocks – a cow and a bull started mating, right there, in the middle of the road, IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYBODY.

Some motorists giggled. Some averted their eyes. Some were shocked.

Alan couldn’t believe what was happening. Didn’t those animals have any decency? Didn’t they have any common sense? Someone needed to create some rules! The way Alan saw it, the world would be a much better place if we started putting clothing on animals.

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
