Enraged cow injures farmer with axe.
Lawmen from Mexico barbecue guests.

Something went wrong in jet crash, experts say.
Some days you’re the pigeon and some days the statue
Some days you’re the bug and some days the windscreen

We do not tear your clothing with machinery. We do it carefully by hand.
Enjoy!
