    This here is your Atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, squire - different from your classical Mad Cow Disease WAAAAHHHH!!! insofar as it's usually found in ageing cattle and not related to feed.

    A natural occuring form of the disease, not the feeding of meat and bonemeal, and our BSE free status is not affected.

    It is like getting lung cancer, some get it from smoking, then the more unfortunate people get it naturally.

    THE HSE needs to immediately distribute free condoms to all males over 16.

    I remember the orginal Bse like it was yesterday. The cows started acting strange and they were baaing instead of mooing, there was that Laughing Cow and we had to take them to the funny farm , which Brian Cowen visited.

    That's how Dublin got its drug problem, people became methane addicts because they couldn't stop sniffing cow **** .

    Galway does specialise in them though. Take Fidelma Healy Eames for instance.
