The Phantom Cow Pleads for Amnesty

Chapter Two

The Mayor’s fax machine began running off page after page, the history of the Phantom Cow it was, and the most important thing of the day.

Appears she was raised by a man owning a newly restored Ford pickup truck, who sold her at the local auction whose workers drove nothing but newly restored Ford pickup trucks, and it looks as if the owner of the local slaughter house whose workers also drive newly restored Ford pickup trucks is the one that bought her, all whom had a boxing glove surgically removed from their lips, and were found tied to a pole and hanging like a roasting pig. One of the victim’s words was; “it was unbelievable, a cow wearing a mask, it was the Phantom Cow!” Also among these victims was a man the insurance company sent out to offer the Phantom Cow $100,000.00 in 20 dollar bills if she would just jump in front of a few Chevy’s once in awhile.

The Mayor sat, feet on his desk leaning back and staring at the poster on his office sealing of the towns most wanted “The Phantom Cow of old hwy 66”. As his phone began ringing his office began filling with many law officers and expert code breakers. With their tape recorders, monitors and cow code breaking gear in place, the Mayor answered the ringing phone; “Mayor Jed here, how may I help you?”

“Mooooo Moo Mo Mooo Mooooooooooo Mooo Mooooo Mo Moo Mooooooooooooooooooooooooo” said the Phantom Cow of old hwy 66.

The computer monitor printed out a translation of the Phantom Cows Mooing and allowed the Mayor to give a reply.

“You don’t say” said the Mayor. “Well if you come to my office at 9:00 in the morning and promise to never jump in front of another newly restored Ford pickup truck, we’ll be glad to give you amnesty”.
