Living the life in Muskoka


Beside a Country Road


A man stands beside a fence on a country road. On the other side of the fence are several sheep, who are going on about their business and not paying attention to the man. The man addresses the sheep.

"War's still happening in Ukraine, I hear."

The sheep do not respond.

"Floods everywhere. Next it'll be fires I expect."

No response.

"It seems Trump's going for re-election."

At which point there is a loud bang from somewhere and the man falls over dead, revealing a sign attached to the fence. The sign reads:

"Sheep worrying is an offence. Anything caught worrying sheep will be shot."
