IN 2020, the US does a census where they ask demographic questions about people/households.

We need to do a cow census. What should we ask?

    Is it a male cow or a female cow?

    You're not a pollinator any more. This is getting strange, or as Alice would say, “curiouser and curiouser.”

    Gir bot just wrecked the naming scheme. Being a master rancher, it does feel strange to watch my herd of apples...

    At least apples never stampede. But they rot a lot quicker than cattle (at least while the cattle are alive).

    My slice of pie is still purple, so it obviously isn't apple pie

    Thank you for the co... apple. I hope the wizard will come around and break the enchantment before it goes bad.

    The cows all ran away! However will we do the census?

    Hmm. Now we have to count apples. Without anybody eating them. Got that? Don't eat the apples!

    Use the apples to tempt the cattle back.

    Does that work with cows? I thought it was a horse you feed an apple.
