Sudiegirl sez...OK, I know I have a thing about cows being intrinsically funny, but this is tinged with sadness. It is tragic about this person dying due to bovine collapse, but you've gotta admit, it's like that episode of "Mary Tyler Moore" where Chuckles the Clown gets squashed by the elephant. Right now, I feel like Mary Tyler Moore in that scene. Anyway, that will not keep me from my appointed rounds, so let the snottiness commence!

Farmer killed by falling cow

Tue Jul 26,10:03 AM ET

ZAGREB (Reuters) - A Croatian farmer was killed when a cow he was about to milk fell and crushed him, local media reported Tuesday. (OK, let me get this over with..."got milk?")

The unfortunate 61-year-old farmer (I'd have to say so!) from the village of Cadjavacki Lug in central Croatia, went into the stable where his family keeps nine cows, as he had every morning for the past 20 years, the Vecernji List newspaper reported.

"I think he slipped, grabbed the milking machine and knocked it over. That must have frightened the cow, which slipped and fell on top of him," his distraught daughter-in-law, who was in the stable with him, told the daily. (What a sight to encounter...your father in law squashed by a Guernsey.)

"It took me and the rest of the family almost three minutes to get the cow off him." (I'm sure it was no small feat either...wow. How many are in her family?)

She said the cow, named Lara, had been very meek and that even children could milk her without fear. The newspaper did not say what had become of the cow. (Huh...I don't know myself. It's pretty sad, come to think of it. It's amazing how people can become attached to their livestock. Before my time, my grandfather had a cow so gentle that my older cousins could ride it.)

Sudiegirl's final word...

It was a "dairy" sad story indeed.
