Of course if you pronounce "foyer" properly is isn't even a joke, let
alone a bad one.

Even before that, it doesn't really survive the change of "on" to "in".
I think it's another generative AI effort, part of a foreign actor's ongoing
covert morale lowering campaign.

Not from a cracker (in fact of my own invention) but a local hostelry

Don't cows lie down when it's going to rain? So if sheep lie down
and it's winter does that mean it's going to snow? This might be a
better way to forecast weather. They are trying to predict snow at
the moment.

I always assumed it was the shepherds, but actually: thinking about it -
with the possible exception of in some Wallace&Gromit/Shaun cartoons, I
don't think I've ever seen a real sheep _sit_ in the way a dog or cat

I've just tried imagining a sitting sheep, and it was sitting knitting. Strange.

I took some photos a while back of a recumbent ewe with her two lambs, one
of which was lying on her back. When she stood up and wandered off, the
lamb was standing on her back. In her case, I reckon she just wanted a rest
from feeding them, so was protecting the source.

I believe the problem is that once on their sides, sheep have not the
wherewithal to get up again; if the ‘sit’ down, they can use their two
legs* to push themselves up again.

*Not a typo, a sheep or lamb only has two legs as far as butchers are
concerned at least, the front limbs are ‘shoulders’.

Perhaps she felt the lamb was getting on her teats?

No, I don't recognise that one. Definitely in a field. I've been wondering
whether it might be from something in the cartoons John mentioned, that I
hadn't remembered as such, but which had nevertheless left a trace. I'm
now halfway to formulating a theory, about what I'll probably call the
collective unconscious.

I vaguely remember a cartoon of many years ago featuring a sheep

At least Weston's is _spelt_ mare (although I think it's from a Latin
word that would have had two syllables). But the London one (and in
other places that have them) is spelt in a way that, to me, definitely
has two syllables; it should rhyme with "player". As do flower and flour
(they're _not_ "flar").

Indeed. And the outside angels add up to 900 - 5 times as many.
