Man accidentally buys a cow off the internet while on sleeping pills
Man accidentally buys a cow off the internet while on sleeping pills
Most of us probably think sleeping pills are there to help you sleep, not to make you spend a ton of money on stuff you don’t need, right?
Well. Their side effects definitely need investigating after one man almost managed to spend £3,000 on something ridiculous. And we say ‘almost’, because although he’d already sent payment over – he was lucky enough to stop it just before the transaction was finalised.
So, when said person was on sleeping pills, he thought he’d do a little internet shopping – at two in the morning.
No, he didn’t manage to dopily convince himself to buy a new phone or order a huge takeaway.
He ordered a yak.

Than someone on drugs buying one. 
Once one has a fucking yak, what more can one want? (I mean other than another yak.)
Personally I've always thought an okapi would be interesting, or a quagga if only they weren't extinct.

Whatever you do don't order one of those...
unless you have a vorpal blade and the Jabberwock comes whiffling through the tulgey wood, and burbles as it comes.
Then, don't forget to, one, two, and through and through make your vorpal blade go snicker-snack.
I think that is the recipe. So some say.
Then my beamish boy, it will be frabjous day. Calloo callay!
Then, we'll all chortle in our collective joy.
My best to you.
...and to your Jabberwock.
...should you choose one.
