I never knew how capable of fine irony Nebraskan police can be: "There were some citable issues with that situation."
No joke!

I think the harsh weather every year may do something to the Nebraskans. It can make them more resilient, hardy and possibly unpredictable. I say this only because I know a few of them. Probably the same can be said for people of any state with weather like that.
The license plate is misleading.
Here's a better angle:

It's a bulldog.
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Seriously, won't the poor thing catch a draft from the wind blast? He should have at least given it some goggles.
That's no bull, that's a U. of Nebraska Cornhusker football lineman.

That steroid thing has gotten out of hand with you, liebe Amerikaner!
I only knew that song from Paper Lace, knew it was a cover, but not who had done it originally. Always assumed it was something American - you live and learn.

I once knew a Cornhusker lineman. He was able to beat the hell out of anyone if he wanted to, but was actually a very nice guy.
Only in America, a bull's road movie ...

Poor animal, forced to ride in a Ford, .
That's bullshit, huh?
He's a card-carrying cis-male and wouldn't want to be seen near anything like a Subaru!
If it weren't for the horns, I would have thought it was Lizzo.

Wasn't there a Disney or Pixar movie where the animation artists drew the hero, a male cow, throughout with an udder, because not one of those city slickers knew that bulls don't have them? They released it that way too.
They're poisoning our innocent kids with all that transgender stuff!
Woke cows? What will they think of
Next?
Its name is Howdy Doody (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/car-bull-named-howdy-doody-crammed-passenger-seat-pulled-nebraska-poli-rcna102719). ;D
With what I saw on the back of the car, they missed a comma. Howdy, doody.
With those horns, I wouldn't give that bull no crap.
It's now hit all German newspapers, the African bull in a chopped up limousine driving around in America. Goes well with how we imagine all you Yanks to be! :mrgreen: ;D ;)
It's an awesome, beautiful animal btw - I think I'd have real issues eating it, but it's most likely a breeder anyway.

It's a steer, not a bull, so not a breeder. But he's a pet. so I don't foresee him becoming a meal. Unless he's like the Three Legged Pig (https://sites.google.com/site/funnyenglishjokes/animal-jokes/the-three-legged-pig)
Balls!
Or rather: their absence then.
In Germany, a Stier is fertile male cattle, while neutered males are Ochsen. We also have the word Bulle for fertile male older cattle, Stier is generally associated with a more youngish animal, but the differentiation isn't always that clear. All bulls 'fighting' Spanish matadors (i.e. being abused by them) are Stiere to us, bullfighting is Stierkampf.

In our law firm, the young associate who mistakenly drafted a horse sales contract obligating the seller to warrant fertility of the Wallach (= gelding) to the buyer is the stuff of mythological legend. Though Georg, once he was made aware that he was asking for the impossible to be warranted, gave as good as he got: "See, that is typically wasteful Western capitalism, I'm from East Germany, we had nothing, but lots of it, and in communism you learned to never throw anything away!"
Georg's equestrian knowledge might not have been all that surefootedhoofed, but he became a very successful attorney/partner and eventually the managing partner of the Frankfurt office of a US competitor. He still tells the story of the "zeugungsfähiger Wallach" (fertile gelding) to his new clients to break the ice. 8)

There was a kid's show when my now 21 yo was little that had a "male cow" character with an udder and teats. Always bothered me. ;D EDIT - I guess the show sprang from a movie called Barnyard.
