Why would he have to rush the TA to merge with Alaska. He can merge with them tomorrow. There are no real contract issues that would be showstoppers.

And why would we merge with Alaska? Why pay for the cow giving you free milk to sell?

Because, and only because, we have to get Mookie on the property. Otherwise, no good reason.

Because then we can pump the cow full or rBST, maximize its milk production until it runs dry, then slaughter it, dividing it up into various cuts - with ribeye, prime, filet, T-Bones / porterhouse, etc, on down to the lesser cuts being distributed on down the line (seniority based, of course - with a pull out plug-in scheme for the vegetarians among us) - and then we'll skin the thing and make cowboy boots for the Dallas commuters.

For our
pièce de résistance we'll take the cow's discards and turn it into that pink slime and sell it to the SWA guys for use in their employee cafeteria burgers.

WINNING.

Absolutely epic! Your answer to his question had the brutality of a sledgehammer, and the precision of a scalpel. It's like watching a tennis match at the Y, to see a twelve-year-old with glasses serve, following the ball, and realizing it's John frekin-McEnroe on the other side, and... kapow!

Bravo!

See. That's how we've always done it. Buy, merge, kill, give away to competitors, repeat.

I say pull out of the cow, head on over to The Big Island, lay eyes upon...



talk a little...



and merge.



The cow can be forced to chew on it's own cud as you take the green grass you've cultivated with you.

So this is just imho, but I'd merge with something other than the cow. But that's just me.
