Pull the udder one
HEARD the one about the herd of flying cows that sank the Japanese fishing fleet?
The hoary story is still afloat, it seems.
Now celebrating its seventh anniversary, this tale was given a new airing when it was quoted in fun at the recent gathering of the Association of Average Adjusters in London.
Several versions exist of the story, which some say began as an internal joke among diplomats.
It was said that a Japanese fishing cutter minding its own business was bombed from 20,000 ft by a hapless cow, which went straight through the hull and capsized it.
