Those Intrepid Shepherds
I heard some interesting news this last week. While they’re having unseasonal snow in New York, I hear that New Zealanders are having blizzards of their own (Global Warming, I guess). Anyway, a shepherd was herding his flock of sheep when a midsummer avalanche hit without warning and buried him. It was only a little slide so no one really got too fussed, but at the end of the day when the shepherd didn’t come home, they got worried. The search began. 48 hours later they found him, comatose and barely alive. Fortunately, he did survive, and made a full recovery Now here's the interesting part. They found him only because noticed his little flock of sheep were huddled together, standing in the slide area. Now I think you can see the sermon coming. Sheep are well known, for, uh ......... not much, really. They do tend to follow well, and since they have no defensive features to speak of, they make, uhm… really great prey. They don't have a 'rescue'...
