Often, here at the studio, interesting photos or recent news happenings are forwarded throughout the office, followed by scattered responses or comments. This particular day, the feedback was particularly amooosing and the steaks were high in what became a pun cowntdown…
This is the original photo Paul sent that started the mad cow disease

Boy that cop’s shield is really getting creamed. (I know, some people will milk any opportunity for a bad pun.)

no point crying over spilled milk… unless you’ve been maced, then cry away.

Oh boy, we’re just starting to skim over the pun possibilities here. Think we can come up with more than 2%?

You bet we can! Hopefully we can figure a whey to keep this joke from spoiling.

Look at the brand! obviously not from the same herd as Tillamook. Radical cows.

I bet those are the cows the cream cheese comes from. That all I got.

She seems to be alone. I guess she believes anarchist cows should be seen, but not herd.

How do you know? Are you such an expert that you’re outstanding in the field? Looking pasture diagnosis, how do you propose we get this cow out of Monterey, Jack?

As much as I hate to digest this defeat I’ll take this grazing in stride. I’m no expert in the fields of cows and related disudders. The cow can stay in Monterey, so long as it’s shelfish life doesn’t expire.
Just-the-same, there’s just something that curdles my blood about such rude, no– icy, ‘cream vulgarity’! The smug look on the mans’ face just makes me want to teat cookies and drink water out of spite!

It takes a big man to know when the bull is so deep it behooves him to just turn away and mooove along. And as much as you may be cowed by the edam man’s vulgarity, steer clear of any retribution. Don’t let him prod you into doing something you may regret. Just turn away and show him your dairy air as you hoof it home to your cottage.
"Lest we forget" caused a final creative stampede

“Oh, teat squeezer you shot that swat geezer
His shield has blocked the stream, but your supporters know what you mean
Long after the herds disband, your sour milk will still stand
A reminder in the streets of what it means to walk a mile in your teats”

Ode to a Poor Constable:
His sweatbreads saved by shield,
His goggles did not yield.
But the crowd looked on with disdain,
As they caught a whiff of methane.
Yes even cops get scared
When milked in a public square.
And now that we’ve had our fun,
Please, no more bloody puns.

At the end of every work day Tugs, being the environmentalist that he is, carpools home with Paul. Sometimes Tugs will be busy working (aka sleeping) on something and loses track of time so Paul has to go looking for him.
