Any calories to this story? More facts would have beefed it up a bit.

Sometime you just have to milk a story for all it's worth.

I don't know if I'd steak my reputation on this being a true moo (trumoo) story. C'mon now ... I would not steer any of you wrong. It is a load of bull though. I think it has tipped the scale.
