"U.S. farmers spent about $225 million last year on bull semen."

*giggle*

Farmers use Bull Semen to inseminate cows. More at 11.

What else would they use, human sperm? Monkey sperm? I'm all for using Monkey sperm, actually. I'd be the first person on my block to own a monkey-cow.

I read the headline, and looked at the picture, and I don't get the joke.

Farmers use bull semen to inseminate cows

Well what the fark else would you use?

Hmmm ... not sure where to go with this ...

Option #1.


Option #2. "Well, there's your problem right there ....."


Option #3.
Ken Montsma, dairy farmer and roadside snow cone stand operator takes some bull semen to be thawed before inserting it in a cow Monday, June 26, 2006. His new order of coconut creme pie flavoring stored in individual straw applicators is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday, June 27, 2006. He only owns one refrigerator.

I would like to start making money with my semen. Any buyers?

Sounds like a load of bull to me.

I don't get it...

I'm gonna show her my MOOOOOOOO face!

I for one welcome our Bovine Fleshlight overlords.

That's a hefty strand of sperm!

LOL, TFA:

Evidence shows one of the first uses of artificial insemination dates back to the Arabs in the 14th century, when tribes would steal sperm from rival tribes' horses, Doak said.

1320, Somewhere in Arabia:
"OK, brave Arab warriors, we raid the Al-Fakawi clan at midnight. Uthman, you're in charge of stealing the water. Omar, you're in charge of kidnapping the slaves. Marwan, your men will go raid the guns and ammunition. Osama, you're in charge of stealing the horse seed."
"Shiat. Again? Can I at least have some wine to rinse my mouth out afterward?"
"No, alcohol is forbidden."
"Shiat. Well, how about a Tic-Tac at least?"
"They won't be invented for 600 years."
"SHIAT."

guns and ammunition swords and bows

Dammit.

I used to work for UPS in Montana handling the paperwork on high-value packages. The most valuable were often containers of bull semen.

I didn't work there long, after a while it was just too much bullship.

Seriously, submitter, or anybody, what is supposed to be funny (or unfortunate) about the headline or the picture? Cows are routinely artificially inseminated, so no surprise there; the guy doesn't look like he's jerking off into the beaker or anything...so WTF?

/Is it the word "semen," Beavis?

/obvious

You're right, Summerhouse, it's just a dude whose job is to jerk off bulls and then insert their semen deep into cows' vaginas. While they gently moo.

Folks, that just isn't funny.

did some one say Bull?

Bull Shannon from "Night Court" - great sitcom of the 80s

Why do they need to do it this way? Do the bulls not want to fark the cows or something?
