INDO-BRAZILIAN
Hello!
REPORTER
Excuse – what?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Hello! You must be here for my interview.
REPORTER
Your –
INDO-BRAZILIAN
My interview. I'm an Indo-Brazilian cow. A Zebu type breed.
REPORTER
A what?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Zebu type breed. Oh, come on. You're supposed to know what kind of cow I am.
REPORTER
Well I –
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Haven't you people got your notes together yet? I'm a breed that was developed from the Gir and Kankrej breeds back in India with some Ongole thrown in for fun. I think that's why my horns are so small. Ha ha.
REPORTER
I'm sorry. What did – what about the Ongole?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
The Ongole?
REPORTER
Yes, the Ongole? What did you say they gave you?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Oh, the Ongole. I think I got some of the shape of my horns from them. Mine are more forward and much prettier and more petite than the Gir's. And less bullfighting than the Kankrej's. Those Kankrejs look ready to take you down their horns are so mean looking! Yes, I'd say the Ongole helped make me look more friendly.
REPORTER
Did you say Gir?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Gir? Oh yes. The Gir gave me my big, long, pendulous ears. They are quite spectacular, don't you think?
REPORTER
Yes, yes, I guess they are.
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Guess? Guess nothing, my friend! I have the biggest ear of all cow breeds. I can turn my head and smack you in the face in no time! Make you see stars, my friend. And you can thank the Kankrej for my monster dewlap.
REPORTER
Your what?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
My what? Oh, my dewlap. That huge piece of loose skin that hangs from my neck like the wattle on the neck of a turkey, your national bird.
REPORTER
Our national bird is the eagle.
INDO-BRAZILIAN
Not if Ben Franklin had had his way. No sir! Anyway, my dewlap is very impressive thanks to the Kankrej.
REPORTER
And your hump over your withers and neck?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
My hump? Oh, I think just about every breed back in India has one of those.
REPORTER
Okay, so getting back to your ears. Don't you think your pendulous ears make hearing more difficult?
INDO-BRAZILIAN
What?
REPORTER
Yes, well, thank you for your time.
