Back in the Old Days ... ...

I remember when I was living in Australia back in the 80's. The Australian Government had contracts to send shipments of live sheep to Saudi Arabia because the sheep had to be killed in a certain way to qualify for food (Kosher? Put your own line in here).

A few times the Saudi Government rejected the sheep, which caused a huge diplomatic rift. The reason the Saudis rejected the sheep?

"Stop sending us these filthy, ugly sheep! Send us the pretty ones with the long eyelashes!!"

The Cox & Forkum the other day reminded me of that!
