Sometimes, The Editor Misses Something

Read this sentence from an AP article:

A cow being delivered to a Japanese slaughterhouse tried to bolt to freedom Sunday, leading nearly two dozen police on a 3.7-mile car chase through town and sending one man to the hospital unconscious.

Now, I don't know about you, but that sentence immediately brings to mind a mental picture of a slightly deranged looking bull behind the wheel of a car. Which is actually a pretty funny picture, when you think about it. Sadly, the rest of the story just doesn't live up to that sentence. The cops were the ones in cars, darn it.

But it would have been funnier if the story had featured a Dodge Neon.
