You show him your gun collection?

They're great if you own rental property. They're an itch if they're anywhere near your own homesteaded property. A suppurating pustule would be more welcome to me.

They tell you to take a shower in a barn, but no water comes out and after a couple of minutes you feel funny, they then tell everyone you moved out unexpectedly!

"Oooh smells like Almonds in here"

I hate petty bureaucracy (You'd never guess would you) Play them at their own game, follow the rules, but have fun with them.....

You are Welsh? Or maybe a Kiwi? Are sheep still classified as sex-toys/marital aids there?

Most incorporated cities ban farm animals within the city limits. Which no doubt leads to sheep brothels on the edge of town.

I recall driving through a pretty posh area, and seeing a bunch of cows sitting in the middle of this huge yard. Turns out that an extremely wealthy dude owned the property, and kept them there as he'd been grandfathered in tax wise, classified agricultural land, years ago, paid hardly any tax on this massive property which sits down the road from the poshest subdivision in the Bay area....
