I recall a news report about someone who got in trouble for stealing toilet paper from a courthouse.  Their last name was Butts.

Will there be an in-class presentation?  Have you prepared the class in case of emergency evacuation?  Pre-pie exam?

Actually, an evacuation plan is necessary, since once the student is elbow deep or more, sometimes the cow will not let go of the arm!  Then you have to just stand there and wait.

I have 17 students, many from NYC who never saw a cow before the semester, who all have to don a glove, lube up, and get busy

I hate when that happens.

Just found out my job is done in May. Apparently because I was a temporary hire there are no extentions. If they decide to open another position (even if it is exactly the same as my old job) I would have to reapply for it. Not only is there a complete hiring freeze making it highly unlikely they will create another position, but the person who is my boss won't want me rehired. Everyone else would, but he has an agenda and I don't think I am part of it. He has been here only a few months, but has caused a lot of headaches for people already.

So not sure what I will do in May. I keep looking, but there isn't really much where we live, certainly not what I am making now. So I might be back to odd jobs and dog training.

To me the obvious answer is to try to scare the shit out of the cow...

LOL - I'm lovin' the thought of that!!

Be careful not to get any Moo Poo on your shoe.

I sincerely wish you good luck.  An old boss of mine once told me, "The best thing to have in a recession is a job."  Maybe we'll all be planting victory gardens soon if things don't get better.

Is the economic/job situation so rough in North America? This doesn't bode too well for me; I'm about to return there, but if I'm only going to be another overage, overexperienced number trying to find work then maybe I should look into a different direction.

LOL, I would like to know what the HECK other women do in the bathroom.

And why does it take them and all their friends to go to the bathroom.

A) To gossip;
B) To DESTROY the place.

I work at an upscale restaurant and get told at least twice a day "The women's bathroom is disgusting!" (I've got to bite my tongue from saying "Then so are women, I guess.") I've never heard a man complain about the men's bathroom, ever.

(In other, more horrific news, we were about to paint the women's bathroom and found a crack in the wall. We took that section of wall out and found about 75 used tampons shoved into the space behind it.)

Rectals went awesome, btw. The first girl absolutely panicked when after getting in just past her wrist the cow clamped down. She shrieked and tried to pull her hand out, which wasn't happening. I got her calmed down and she was fine. The most squeamish girl from NYC was making all these awful faces until she got her hand in. She said "Ew..Ew...Ewww..OH COOL! She fished around longer than anyone and volunteered to do another. 

No one got pee in their pocket, a few got pooped on, everyone found the cervix, it was a good day.

I had to laugh because I was showing the lab kids horse and cow reproductive tracts (I CAN apparently smell formaldehyde ), and the next night we watched Dirty Jobs at home. Mike (the host) asks if there is a fancy name for this funnel, and the guy replies " infundibulum". I about peed myself! No one else got it.

The next day the Thursday lab went to a sheep farm where we vaccinated and tail docked a dozen lambs. Glad I can't smell, as the tail dockers were cauterizing and the smell of burn wool and flesh apparently is not real good. We did have a lamb born while we were there, so that was cool.

I'm guessing gloves were not provided, since I've never seen a glove long enough to cover an arm doing what you describe.  Yep, you're at least one up on me in the category of doing things on the farm that most people haven't done.    I guess I'm just a city slicker these days.

Getting back to haircuts, I've used a flowbee for years.
