  ;D ;D ;D

But you got the NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION all wrong. It goes like this:

You have two cows.
You sell your two cows for a sheep.
You send your kid to school on the sheep*.
You put your feet up, yell at the wife to get you a beer, then watch the rugby.

*All kids ride sheep to school in New Zealand because we're too cheap to get a bus. I'm home-schooled so I ride my sheep from my bedroom to the living room where I'm taught, saving 0 dollars & 0 cents in bus fees a year & costing $1000 a year for food for the sheep. ;D
