I have two cows in the new agrarian age. I am sent two bankers to re-educate.

 

They try to milk the bull for all it is worth. :lol:

 

When they find they can get no milk from the Bull,

they look for a Bear, and hang him by his feet upside down.

They are surprised when no milk comes out, and one says:

"Maybe this Bear is not short enough."

 

The other replies:

"This farm is nothing like the real world, is it?"

Until the bear comes out of its hibernation and rips the throat out of the bankers ;)
