The chemistry of Dung

Whoa..

Finally, they let it out. The cows have been letting it out.

Just before the Friday sermon today, the Imam announced a formal complaint to the jemaah. The complaint? People working in Jabatan Kimia finally cannot tolerate the cow dung that has been freshly accumulating at the main gate of the department daily. Surely, they would want fresh milk instead!

This has not been affecting the people from the Jabatan Kimia only, but the whole of the residents of the housing estate. Every morning, on their way out to work, everybody will have to maneuvre their vehicles to the likes of the Camel Trophy driver, carefully avoiding the brown excreta that was left on the road by a herd of innocent cows the night before. The owner is guilty, so leave the cows alone.

At night, since the only road that connects the housing estate to the main road is not lit, one would have to be cautious of the herd that seems to be ready to tuck into bed, in the middle of the road.

"Please, whoever it is, please tie up your cows and do not leave them to roam free" remarked the Imam. I really hope the person is there. It really is a nuisance that he can't keep his cattle in safer place, out of the traffic. Apt enough, the Imam went on saying that the dirt left on the road is a pointer to how clean the person is. Cleanliness is part of piety. Being unkempt surely says the otherwise.

To the cows: the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, not the pot holed tarmac.
To the owner: Its time to turn the udder cheek and moo-ve on. We do not take a bull from you.
To all of us: Cow-nt your belssing everyday and wake up in a good moo-d!
