TORONTO – After listening to a coworker explain a simple solution to a tax problem yesterday, accountant Jim Barnes was overheard confidently shooting down the advice and declaring “Listen, this ain’t my first rodeo!” despite never having ridden, seen, or even met a cow in real life.
“I practically invented that solution. Why? Because I’m the kinda employee who takes the bull by the horns,” Barnes boasted, shamefully unaware that in a traditional rodeo, touching the bull with your hands would immediately disqualify you from the competition.
“I can do that kinda stuff ‘til the cows come home!” he added, ignoring the fact that he has no idea where cows live.
