    You have two cows, the big farmer across the roadlost a lot of money on a big financial gamble. You have to sell your cows to help pay his debts, "because we all have to share the pain"

    Ain't no consensus reached or needing to be reached on a site like this... It's the EU that needs consensus to work ...

    Ah the good ole 2 cows

    ANARCHISM You have two cows. The cows decide you have no right to do anything with their milk and leave to form their own society.

    ARISTOCRATISM You have two cows. You sell both and buy one really big cow - with a pedigree.

    AUSTRALIANISM You have two cows. You take one to the beach and teach it to surf, then you bung the other one on the barbie, drink some VB, and laugh at the idea of a surfing cow.

    CAPITALISM -- HONG KONG You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt / equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the feng shui is bad.

    COMMUNISM -- CUBAN You have two cows. Fidel tells you some undercover CIA agents have infected all of the cows in your region with a foreign disease that kills the cows. You and your family become malnourished. It begins to occur to you that Fidel doesn't know what he is talking about.

    DEMOCRACY You have two cows. A vote is held, and the cows win.

    EUROPEAN UNIONISM You have two cows. The EU develops a quota system that "limits the gas emissions from flatulent cows." You sell your carbon allotment, not the milk.

    LIBERTARIANISM You have two cows. You let them do what they want.

    TALIBANISM You have two cows. At first, the government makes them wear burkas, but later shoots them because "they are Hindu religious symbols."

    UNITED NATIONISM You have two cows. France vetoes you from milking them. The United States and Britain veto the cows from milking you. New Zealand abstains.

    DARWINISM You have two cows. They develop opposable thumbs and milk you.

    Its a joke that just keeps on giving....................................
    gone

    you have two cows and want to sell them at market value, unfortunately over-night the value of cows plummet, you sell them the next day well below the estimated market value and the banks need a bailout

    The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

    MULTICULTURALISM : you end up with a small field and hundreds of different cows who cannot work together as a herd
    I will only happily spend my money when the person serving me is Irish. Taxi's, Restaurants, banks, tradesmen etc. If everybody did, there would be a revolution.....
