Two Shakes of Lamb's Tail Leaves Man Bruised, Bleeding
(Dubuque, IA) The idea came upon Martin Hough "kind of impulsively," the unemployed steel worker admitted.
"I'd heard that old phrase about 'two shakes of a lamb's tail,' so I just grabbed ahold," he said after being escorted from a Dubuque 4-H fair. "Then BAM! Fucking lamb kicked me right in the head."
Hough said that the aggressive lamb then charged him.
"I'm laying on the ground, and the fucker's standing on my chest, breathing his hay-breath right in my face," he said, rubbing his forehead. "I thought these baby lambs were supposed to be friendly - this beast looked like he was going to rip out my eyeballs."
Hough added that he has shelved plans to beat a dead horse, grab a bull by the horns, and roll water off a duck's back.
