Party Animal
A British businessman who installed a swimming pool for his family got a bit of a surprise when the first swimmer turned out to be an escaped bull.
The dramatic pool-party took place on Friday. Work had just been completed on the luxury outdoor heated swimming pool Mr Stewart had ordered for his home.
Workmen had spent the day pumping in ten thousand gallons of water and Mr Stewart's guests started to arrive in the late afternoon for the inaugural swim.
However celebrations took a surprise turn when a two-year-old bull from a neighbouring farm jumped a fence and escaped from his pasture.
The young animal, whose full show-name is Broombrae Tramp, was apparently intent on making closer acquaintance with a herd of cows in another field.
But when his owner, farmer Alexander Jack, gave chase, the bull changed course and instead crashed into Mr Stewart's garden.
The bull then executed a bovine version of a swan dive directly into Mr. Stewart's pool. You realize that the bull was attempting to impress the women attending the pool party, don't you? Talk about beefcake.

Let me be the first to say, "What a lot of bull that is!"
