This is for Moonbie than anything else, since she deals with lots of sheep day in, day out...

So far only 10 ugly sheep have been found this lambing season, which stretches from April to September...
This comment is puzzling. They couldn't have done their survey at 10 minutes to closing time or I doubt they could have found this many. Still, their standards can't be that high if they've only found 10 ugly sheep in 4 1/2 months.

Maybe they did their survey at 23 minutes to closing time.
 
I bet there mama's still love them! Poor little baby sheeps.
 
Does the phrase "virgin wool" (comes from ugly sheep) spring to anybody else's mind? By the way where is Danger in this discussion?
 
Last night I discovered that there are inflatable sheep dolls. :blushing: :eek:

Has it occurred to you that you might be dating the wrong type of men?

Right here, dude. I've been busy (damned clients ).
There is no such thing as an ugly sheep; they're all beautiful in their own special ways. :rolleyes:
 
:smile: Yep, I've seen that. They're being too picky though. They only want Merino sheep from Australia.

The problem they're likely having is that the ugly lambs probably just get made into lamb chops.

Maybe they're getting lonely and drink a lot of beer.
