These days, all we got is a silly flocker in the Whitehouse.
CorrectMostOfTheTime
That would be $1,363,440.86 in today money o.0

Wool is fantastic stuff. Perfect insulation, biodegradable, fire retardant and durable. It is so versatile and can be used to make so much
SemiErectForYourPleasureLadies
Fun fact. A flock of sheep is called a “Welsh Orgy”.
DingalingTime
I live in Lincoln, California and goats are used a lot
AbidiAbida
So he laid off the groundskeepers and used sheep?

He also said the yellow man will never be equal to the white man at the treaty of Versailles, giving the Japanese a reason to switch sides.

Our forefathers did many things we just have lost the will and knowledge to do. Seems trivial but added together, it makes a difference.

$52K or just over one day’s worth of golf cart rentals at one of the President’s personal golf course
BertWiedermeyer
Trump would get them for free, charge for their wool, slaughter them, sell the meat, claim they ruined his lawn . Etc.
s8nke
Now they have barriers to keep the sheep off the lawn
salamanderson
So not spending millions on golfing at courses you directly profit from?

I used to borrow a mates goat to eat weeds after a major addition and renovation coz our landscaping wasn’t done.

Mulatto sheep! And unfortunately so true.
postman69
Yeah, them employ a dozen to scoop the poop.
BeerIsProofThatGodLovesUsAndWantsUsToBeHappy
The city I live in contracts a local shepherd to bring goats and sheep to clear grassy areas. Cheaper than traditional landscaping.
DaisyfromDownunder
This is where all the sheep shit came from.
turdleymcfartknocker
TIL people who pick up sheep shit make less than groundskeepers

He truly was a top notch racist, authoritarian fascist.

Entertaining (though long) video that gets into why Wilson was terrible for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLiI6kXZkZI
heynongman4pres
That’s the current guy. Wilson was just a top notch racist. Though he did have his good points, these sheep among them.
TheRealAethrys
Nah it's cool. Fascist has been successfully diluted beyond any meaning other than anyone you don't like. Language evolves, embrace it.
metaphordog
Hmm.. What I’ll do instead is feel smugly superior to imbeciles who use words they don’t understand.
metaphordog
No it's Wilson. If you're going to try and make points by calling people fascists, you would sound less stupid if you could recognize them.
heynongman4pres
Are you just an angry Trump supporter?
AnathemaNoreh
He fires everyone who opposes him, doesn't care about his citizens, and claimed his "authority is total". He's more than a little fascist
metaphordog
You should consider learning how to define “fascist.”
Imperium14
Herd of sheep?
TCGView
They also occasionally attacked staff. Seriously, they did.
whyisitsohardtogetausername
But wouldn't he be helping the economy if he paid groundskeepers?
saintandrew92
I mean, money doesn't just vanish if you don't spend it, you can spend it on other stuff... like paying people to pick up sheep shit.

Trump should do it to save on hookers.
Ghengiskhan3000
Trump has the best hookers. He had hookers first.

AntRam95
He’d still probably end up spending more money, he’s a very horrible business man
solsactual
Trump has plenty of sheeple
keystotheairlock
Well then who'll mow the lawns? Or aid the Red Cross?
furt77
Who will mow the lawns? Certainly not Mexicans.
thechelonianshelmet
I was going to ask why he'd want Magats all over the lawn, then I realised that with how much he loves his rallies, he could pull a 2 in 1.
GlobalHooters
Lol holy is this a top tier comment
The4thTriumvir
Back when we had mostly fiscally responsible presidents.
Metalhead47
Dammit. Now I need sheep. Or just to rip out the rest of my lawn.
blacksocksnevergetdirty
They keep the grass nice but the hundreds of poop pellets ruin the effect
Metalhead47
Free fertilizer!

And sometime they have a prolapsed uterus and you are 9 and are scared for life

Local vegans should do it for free
ondrishko
There are local vegans in your area waiting to meet you

Go down to the special school. Those kids will eat grass all day for free.
discreetpear
Not your best joke, this one
GREATEASYPIES
Look into replacing your lawn with native plants. You may even be able to find grants to make it profitable. L
Metalhead47
Sort of what I'm doing, I ripped out a big chunk where I'm planting bee pasture now.

HOA bitching / violation fines INTENSIFY !!!
Metalhead47
Leave that static, man! Get you some acreage and be your own HOA.
Ekstren
They're one of the few creatures that trim the grass without destroying it
shitheadtookmyname
Counterpoint they smell bad and are more expensive to maintain than hiring a lawn guy

CaptainYesterday
I'm seriously ready to dig out the lawn, pour concrete over the entirety of it and have someone paint it green.
blacksocksnevergetdirty
Or you know use landscaping rocks
Ekstren
I don't think they smell bad, Barbados sheep are even better because they don't have wool and you can also eat them
DelightfulSkillet
True that. I've known too many that will actively try to die on you to own my own flock, though
Ekstren
Yeah I worked sheep and goats, the sheep were beyond frustrating. So dumb. And I'm the asshole who anyways comments "chicken and cattle 1/2
KiwiGameDev
Ha now that the lawn mower’s union come knocking, you have the audacity to come to us
butterflybuttler221
Check out valais black nose sheep. Your day will be better
Metalhead47
Thank you, my day was indeed made better.
MissChiLady
Goats work too

Concrete, my friend. Everything concrete.

That fucks up the water system. No.

$52k in their money or ours?
furt77
Sheep have their own money?
MrBoopleSnootFluffkins
Yes, it's similar to the Thai baht, they call it the baaaaaaaaaaaaaaht! Ha ha ha, I'm laughing at my own joke!
KermitTeHutt
We have money?
scootdadoot
erroniousmaximus
Likely Ours. The CPI differences are huge; something like 250% inflation from then to now. 52k WW1 value for fleece even on auction is crazy
broadstroke
According to this link it is not inflation adjusted. According to other quick googling, this would make it the most expensive wool ever 1/2
erroniousmaximus
I guess that’s what I get for assuming. Must have been one hell of an auction.

Apparently an old relative of mine used to borrow sheep from his farmer neighbours for a little while when his property got overgrown
Bowchickameowmeoww
Used to be pretty common to do stuff like this. Animals get new/fresh stuff to eat, and your yard gets trimmed and fertilized
NautiGal
my dad once rented a goat to trim the back yard for him.

Goats are a thing around here for underbrush.
SamArt53
It’s very common here in Northern California (sierra Nevada) to have your weeds eaten by sheep. Several companies provide the service. They

UC Berkeley has (or rents) a herd of goats to take care of the campus. Some parts are too hilly for human landscaping.
SamArt53
And, double bonus, when they’re not eating weeds, they can work as liberal arts professors. /s
m6514309
That would be horrible, the goats make more than adjuncts.
SamArt53
have some orange ‘fencing’ (netting squares) the string around the property, then turn the sheep loose for 1-2 days. They eat it ALL!
cammykinscd2718
Here in Seattle area it's goats but same idea
SamArt53
Yup, I’ve also seen goats in this area. In fact, IIRC, they’re more common than sheep b/c they eat EVERYTHING.
KnowmSaying
He used to drive them in the back of his little van truck thing. On one such occasion the sheep's tummy did not appreciate the bumpy dirt
KnowmSaying
Road and blasted the whole interior with projectile shit. The end.
BluIceLion
This made me happier than it should. Simple things in life, am I right!

I bet he exclaimed thusly "holy sheep".
