Science Fiction fans have a saying, "There are very few personal problems that can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives."  This is why we don't normally allow Science Fiction fans to have access to high explosives.

This isn't so out in the West.  When Rancher Bill was just getting ready to bring his cattle in to market, they stampeded, and wouldn't you know it, they managed to fall into an abandoned mineshaft at the end of a box canyon.  Just one after another, in they went until they formed a solid plug of beef.

Well Ol' Bill had to figure out some way to salvage the situation, and that idea involved every stick of dynamite he could lay hands on.  Once Bill had packed the bottom of the mine with the TNT, he set it off, and those cattle came flying out of the mine shaft so fast, they reached orbit.

Now they say that God watches over fools and dumb animals, and Rancher Bill was clearly a pretty high-ranking fool, and Cows are right up there after Domestic Turkeys on the dumb animal scale, but even God had his hands full that day making sure that by some miracle, the cows came to rest in Bill's Pasture unharmed after their trip.

Bill was at least smart enough to recognize a miracle when he sees one, so instead of taking the cattle to market, they now live in his pasture as a roadside attraction, underneath a sign that says "The Herd Shot 'round The World."

Nothing like a somewhat lengthy story for a dumb pun. Bravo, sir.

Believe it or not, I thought of the punchline during a chat with Phantom, but it took a while to come up with a good intro.

I agree with that philosophy. And I have access to materials that could quickly become materiel.
