Sheep may safely....

My sister is fond of sheep, so I'll not mention here specifically how sheep are going to help us out this week. :-)
That being said, sheep get a bad rap for being stupid. When we were in Hawaii once we were told that if a pregnant sheep falls over she can't get up by herself. On observing the sheep's brain we see they got about two scoops (see below re: ice cream cones). Sheep are notorious followers.
Yet sheep are a highly successful species. They "make" lots of useful things people need. They are loyal. They look nice on a hillside. They rarely complain unless they are separated from the flock. The are not real crazy about dogs (AMEN to that). They don't go to war and take good care of their young. We could learn a lot from sheep. And this week in A&P we will! (Don't ask, Sis!)
