A friend asked me what should the comeback be to:
Why Buy the Cow when you can get the Milk for Free?

I have no idea of the context in which this comment was made, but I have a pretty good idea. My response: It's time to grow up and be a real man.

Hummm....
1. If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be drinking milk!
2. Because cows dry up and then you don't get milk.
3. Watch out the farmer may catch you, then you won't get any milk or you will be dead cause we live in tx and you would have to trespass in order to get that milk!
4. Some of us know how to castrate a bull.
Boy this is fun, even though we are not talking about milk. Now let me think some, I might come up with a good response!

And for those of you who plan on getting the milk for free, study up now:

The biggest problem with buying the cow, is then the cow is always too tired to give milk, or has a headache, or the calf is awake, or... Let me just say this: Once you buy the cow, your milk supply seems to dry up.
