Abnormal Spoilage

Categories: Metrics

Ah, Bessie-the-Cow. We love her so. She cranks out twelve gallons of milk everyday, which we lovingly place in our solar-powered refrigerator units in the barn as it settles, waiting to be pasteurized. All is great until, one day, through the magic of global warming, a ton of worms begin to appear all around the barn and in the field. It's great news for both the corn Farmer Joe is growing and all the early birds in need of a quick breakfast. But the birds, tired from waking up so early, decide the best place for their mid-morning nap is right on top of our solar panels. Their dumb bird bodies block the transmission of the solar power to our refrigeration unit, and as a result, Bessie's twelve gallons of milk suffer abnormal spoilage...at least until Farmer Joe could get out there with boots, a squeegee, and a high tolerance for a ton of bird crap.
