The beginning scentence in a series of political and economic jokes. "You have two cows..." jokes began as a parody of typical intro-course material in college level economics featuring a "farmer in a moneyless society, using his cattle and produce to trade with his neighbors." The cows are used as a metaphor for currency, capital, means of production, and property. "Two cows" jokes typically portray an outsider's view on many cultural and economic issues using paradox, and sarcasm.
