Bovine Pioneers
The captain’s accent was impenetrable and that was why, when the first mate was told to go find an experienced bosun for the upcoming voyage across the treacherous seas, he instead returned with an elderly bison. Not wishing to hurt his first mate’s feelings, and understanding the effort it must have taken to find such an impressive wildebeest at short notice in a small seaport town, the captain welcomed the bison into the crew, where he served with distinction for many years, introducing the phrase ‘water buffalo’ into common usage and paving the way for future nautical undulates, including several sea cows and Mervyn the Pirate Moose.
