A comedian performed a stand-up routine to a field of cows in an experiment intended to see if they have a sense of humour。 Milton Jones was joined by cow expert Bruce Woodacre on a Hertfordshire farm to test the reaction of a herd of fresians。 He performed a special set of visual and verbal jokes, called Pull The Udder One, while Mr Woodacre monitored the cows' reaction。 Mr Jones said: "Writing comedy for cows was very different to my day job but a comedian plays to his audience, so I wrote a raft of new material to really get under their hides。 Mr Woodacre, who has studied cow behaviour for more than 40 years, said: "Happy cows are more productive. Most of the herd crowded closely round the stage and jostled for a good position. They had their mouths open and their ears laid back, indicating they were relaxed and content. Not everyone was entertained though - I definitely heard some low heckling moos and there were even a few walk-outs." 英国的一位喜剧演员为了验证奶牛是否具有幽默感，决定对着一群奶牛做喜剧表演。 这个名叫米尔顿•琼斯的喜剧演员还请来了赫特福德郡的奶牛养殖专家布鲁斯•伍德科尔做帮手。 他在奶牛面前眉飞色舞、手舞足蹈地讲笑话，而伍德科尔先生则负责观察牛群的反应。 琼斯先生说：“给牛做喜剧表演非常具有挑战性，但作为喜剧演员我必须得娱乐我的观众，所以我必须尽量编排出一些能让这些家伙感到好笑的东西。” |
