This happened to a Muslim guy way back except it was a goat and the horn broke off. They gave him a job to blow it once a day to call people to prayer but the guy had bad gas. They came up with a compromise and that is why Muslims pray five times a day. The more you know. Was gonna do this with Jews, a ram and the shofar but this seemed to fit better. Shofar, so good!

Already knocked it off my bucket list. It's likely Raoul has too.
In the summertime in Provence, all along the coast they have traveling "bull fights" where regular folks in the audience are invited into the ring to participate.
It's called Toro Piscine and me and a buddy hopped into the ring in a town called Le Lavandou one nite and proceeded to get chased around by the bulls and generally make asses of ourselves.
They aren't mature bulls by any stretch, much much smaller and they have horns but the horn tips are covered with metal balls so you don't get gored. But you get knocked around a lot. It's scary. Lots of climbing on the ring fence to avoid getting slammed. 3-4 bulls at a time. In the center of the ring is a small wading pool or "piscine".
There are 4 or 5 "competitions" (putting big rings on the horns, popping balloons on the horns, ring the bells on their necks,etc) and the last competition involved each of the contestants standing on the edge of the piscine totally still and the last one to get knocked into the water by a bull wins a bottle of champagne.
The wives and the kids really enjoyed our hijinks. And the champagne was delicious, my buddy won it but I took one for the team.

When my older sopne was studying abroad in Madrid, we went to the bullfights at Las Ventas-it was gruesome and awesome at the same time. I've got some great pics. But this photo was in a bar across the street from the Bullfighting Arena. Outstanding. _

Having said that, my parents used to buy that sangria and I probably stole 20 bottles of that stuff in HS. _
