No, not the Monty Python bit...
...not the kind of head you would want either--

SHEEP HEAD BREAKS MUSIC FAN'S SKULL
(Norway, AP) - A flying sheep's head hit a concertgoer and fractured his skull at a concert of metal band Mayhem. The band, part of Norway's death metal music scene, was carving up a dead sheep as part of its stage act when the animal's head flew off lead singer Maniac's knife and struck Per Kristian Hagen, 25. The show was in Bergen, west of the capital, Oslo. "My relationship to sheep is a bit ambivalent now. I like them, but not when they come flying through the air," Hagen told The Associated Press from his hospital room. "I have a headache now." He is expected to recover.

"Ouch," he said sheepishly, after being rammed by the sheep's head, "What the flock? Ewe'll pay for this. Wool see you in court!"

Hmmm, maybe you're onto something here Maple. Sheep hitting concertgoer in head, turkey hitting wife in head ... is it falling together now?

Wasn't Louis Pasteur studying Anthrax in sheep?

Things could always be worse... you could get whacked by anthrax-laden sheep parts at the neighborhood death metal concert.


WHICH reiminds me of one of my favorite quotes from LEXX...

"Oh, I LOVE Dead Thing Pie!"

My father-in-law gave me a flying pig when I got my PhD. Is that the same?

Maple
More or less, "YES!"

He never actually said it, but at the party he said "You've heard the saying 'When pigs can fly." and then gave me this toy that he hung from the ceiling--it was a pig with flapping wings that 'flies' around in a circle tethered to a string.

(Don't tell anyone, but I think he was thinking it for along time, seeing I was working on the degree part-time.)

Either that or perhaps he was a big Pink Floyd fan?

LOL!

You don't know how funny that is. My father-in-law is 70 and the strongest drink I think he's ever consumed is grape juice--unfermented kind!

I can't remember which comedian it was (Bill Mahar or somebody like that), went to a Pink Floyd concert. He wasn't a fan. He just went for something to do, it sounded like.

He was talking to some friends with his back to the stage when everyone around him started to shout, "THE PIG! THE PIG!" LOLOL

He thought they had all gone completely nuts. Then he turned around and saw the giant helium-filled pig rise over the edge or the stadium and thought, "I Really should've done a lot more drugs before I came here."

Lol @ Tilt. I saw that 'Animals' tour also, pig and all. Fun stuff...

Stump, I was hoping that was the case. Made the comment more amusing... :)
