история חо собственно "соws with guns" - http://www.cowswithguns.com/Cowstory.html
Penguin wanted to make a few changes. “Cows are female, so the committee thinks that Cow Tse Tongue should be female. And we want this to be sold as a children’s book so we’d like you to change the lines “pissed in his eye” and “cow well hung”.
Fortunately I had no idea I was talking with one of the most important publishers in the country. Sometimes ignorance can work in your favor. My back was killing me, my romance was disintegrating and I was in a really fowl mood.
“Tell the committee that Cow Tse Tongue’s gender is a secret to create confusion around who the real Cow Tse Tongue is: And for purposes of security we’ll have to keep Cow Tse Tongue male in the book. Also explain to them that “pissed in his eye” is the four year olds’ favorite line; and the line “cow well hung” will give parents a chance to be creative when asked about its meaning. Besides, the song is on the top of the charts in Australia, and I’ll never be able to show my face over there if I wimp out on these lines.”
“And by the way, if Penguin has a problem with a word referring to urination being seen in a children’s book, have they considered the issue cows running around with automatic weapons?”
