and the bonus joke/pun: cosa fanno due mucche in una stalla? Bivaccano.

What do two cows do in a shed? They bivouac

(Because of the “vacca” in the verb bivaccare which is the italian for bivouac)

of note also VACCA BOIA, as an interjection or exclamation to express surprise.

(Literally it means: executioner cow)

(“vacca” is the most proper Italian word for cow, used in technical contexts, but also has a derogative use, and thus in layman speech usually one uses “mucca”)

"You can't eat a steak and later complain there is no more milk".

In a press release I sold that for "ancient wisdom" but actually I invented it 10 minutes before.
