Near Monterey, in the old days, the cattle would gather into a herd on November 11th of each year to discuss how they'd like to be eaten. Some would argue for all-beef franks while others spoke for ground chuck or prime rib and so forth. Then one year a longhorn named William Morris made his way to the stage and announced he had a shocking new idea. "I would like not be eaten," he said.
Morris was mooed off the stage. The boss bulls voted to eliminate the right of longhorns to speak at meetings. The bulls talked about the need for animals to be practical if they hoped to enjoy the feed lots, something Morris admitted he had not considered. The debate restarted and sensible bovines soon compromised and reached a consensus: barbecue.
