True story: Years ago, one of the law clerks for the judge I worked for was getting married. The judge did a lot of phoning, and found a farm where he could BUY A SHEEP to give the law clerk, with the understanding that the farmer would buy her back for a lesser amount. The story of how the judge and another law clerk got the ewe into and transported her in the judge's car to the party (and how the car smelled afterwards) was hilarious!
