The corn is as high as an elephant's eye...

Once upon a time there was a bright golden haze on the
meadow, and one Russian dairyman thought that everything
was going his way...until he got caught with marijuana
plants in his 40 acre field of feed corn.

Faced with the dilemma of having to destroy everything
that was growing and have the cows starve, Soviet authorities
decided to harvest the entire crop and feed both corn and
weed to the soon-to-be stoned bovines. Moo-A!

The story from Reuters News (August 18, 2005):

Oscar Hammerstein may well have envisioned such a
scenario when he wrote:

All the cattle are standin' like statues,
All the cattle are standin' like statues,
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by,
But a little brown mav'rick is winkin' her eye...

Russian dairy consumers will soon be quite mellow after
drinking specially marketed milk from stoned cows. This
may well represent the perfect future solution for Iraqi
Sunni insurgents.
