Silly Mardi Gras Story 1
Okay - there are plenty of good story - of running to catch beads and some crazy things you may see or get while at a parade.
But a lot of the crazy stories involve the trip to or from or just the general experience.
I have a few goofy ones to share for trips then some funny ones about parades and balls and such later.
Story 1
Mooooooo (at bottom)
Story 2
Goose-Shield (coming later)
Story 3
Excessive Breaking (coming later)
So we are coming back from a parade one night and its nearly midnight.
I am driving and we have all had a nice time and are tired....
We are pulling into an upper class neighborhood to go through to get to our middle class neighborhood to go home....
The guy to the right of me goes... dude - a cow...
I am huh?
A cow!
I have no idea what he means.....
Stop!
So i do....
Now we had not been drinking ...but we were very tired.. so i ask him... You ok?
He says go in reverse...
Ummmmm
Dude - there is a cow....
Sure enough.... (picture below)
We get home and i call the cops and tell them what we saw and where it was...
VERY FIRST question from them.. sir are you coming from a parade and have you been drinking..
Sigh.. no .... for real...
Sir - If we come out there we can pull you up on charges for a false report...
No really its a cow!
So i give them the address and our number.
An hour later she calls back and apologizes for thinking i am drunk. Seems a cow had escaped from miles away on a ranch like area near that neighborhood and was walking around mooing at cars that passed by it all night...they found it eating grass in an upper class front yard.
