Oxen and men have much in common. Both come in many flavors: some are belligerent in temperament, others are peaceful. Both are gregarious and like to rally around their own.
In Hong Kong the people, or at least some of them, allow, when it comes to cattle, the peaceful variety to rally. At least that is what the newspaper headline said last Monday, “Hong Kong’s ‘valiant’ fighters let the ‘peaceful’ steer rally.”
Ah, punctuation! Who said it wasn’t important?
Now I hope they will soon pass a law that says, “Soldier’s weapons must be left at home to enter Hong Kong.” That will confuse everybody and leave the peaceful steer alone to do their rally.
But will the peaceful be left alone? That might be a mooh’d question. Sorry about that.
