Latest Gossip from unnamed sources at the Capitol Building

When I was walking down the Capitol Steps tonight the director of Charlie Rangel's office was walking a heifer up the steps. I asked him what he was doing with a cow at the Capital. Was he playing a joke on someone?

"No," he said, "I got Bessie for the milk."

"You're going to have a cow in Rangel's offices," I observed.

"Yeah, her name's Bessie."

"Isn't that gross?"

"What do you mean?"

"What about the shit and the flies?" I asked.

"Bessie can get used to them," he answered.
