Why Buy The Cow?

We've all heard the saying, "Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?" Well, I think that saying is a disgusting saying. First off, you're comparing a woman to a livestock animal. What kind of misogynistic, cruel comparison is that?

Secondly, milk? The large majority of guys these days are far more interested in steaks and leather. Who drinks milk? Given this fact, the clear implication of the saying is that my true goal would be to kill, eat, and ultimately wear my girlfriend. That's utterly disgusting.

It's a disgusting saying!

I prefer, "why buy the llama when you can get the Alpaca sweater, knitted by a peasant grandmother in the high Andes and sold in a market in Lima in an equitable and fair-traded manner, exported to the United States and sold at a Drum Happening on the beach near Santa Barbara one Thursday night by a 30 year old woman from Cleveland who had come West to discover herself and was extremely high, for free?"

I find that a much less sexist way of putting it.

I find killing, eating, and wearing your girlfriend an extremely appealing idea!

How can she possibly make a profit selling that sweater for free though?
