This one might be another oldie, but I think it's a
goodie (you know, oldie but goodie...).

Picture a field of grass in the mid-west somewhere.
One of those fields that you can just see forever on.  It's
green (i hope), grass waving gently in the wind, a warm
summer sun shining down on all below.

Now, there are these cows and bulls, all grazing on this nice
grass, having a good time.  The cows (being cows) could really
care less about the bulls today; it's just too nice a day.

Along comes a breeze.  It shortly turns into a strong wind,
somewhat disturbing the cows.  As the afternoon wears on, the
wind increases.  The cows are becoming a little worried about
the wind by now, so they start moesying back towards the barn.

Since they are so far out in the field, the trek back is no
small matter.  The wind continues to grow, now close to being
scary.  The cows are starting to feel the pressure of the wind
bearing down on them.  Looking at each other, they notice that
some of their kind are swaying a little.  The bulls, however,
don't appear to be worried, and just keep following the cows
on their trek home.

The wind, by now, is gale force.  The cows are starting to
fall in their tracks.  The bulls do seem a little bothered
by the wind, but not to the point of falling down.  Soon,
all the cows are just flat on their sides, waiting for the
wind to die down so they can get back up.  The bulls, meanwhile,
are swaying and rocking with the winds, but not falling over.

Finally, the winds subside and the cows return to their feet.
They all gather around the bulls, who are gracefully resuming
their dinner.  With a slight tone of awe, the lead cow says to
the bulls, "That wind was SO strong it knocked all of us down!
How did you guys manage to remain standing??"

The bulls looked at each other as if to say, "What are they
talking about" and replied, "Why, we bulls wobble but we don't
fall down..."
