How to kill a horse
As you may have guessed; this is where they hold Roseburg's annual bacon eating contest.
Ben, Maggie, David, and I had come to the Douglas County Fair to help Ellis set up a booth.
Ellis had called Ben in a panic. We all rushed over to help.
When Ben called Ellis to tell him that we were all at the fair and ready to help, he told Ben he would be there in 15 minutes.
We wandered around, taunting the animals. Ellis said he would be there in 1/2 an hour.
There were a lot of kids at the fair who's job it was to shave the pigs. Who knew that a pig even needed to be shaved? Ellis said he would be there any minute.
A lot of the animals had names that seemed vaguely inappropriate e.g Hammie, T-bone, Elmer. Ellis said he was parking.
We learned that most animals do not like to be yelled at or have things thrown at them. Ellis, where are you?
I was going to tell a funny story about euthanasia, but, I have decided against it for a two reasons: 1. the story didn't really read very well, I think it's a funnier story when it's told, maybe my writing lacks the nuance needed for such a story. And 2. some people don't think euthanasia is funny.
