The point is to get the cow on the ground, before he/she turns to either run you over, or gore you,...
Oh,...this was a rhetorical question, wasn't it? 
What I meant to say was... I'm not exactly sure what the point is...

We've been out in a field lurking about cows, but none got tipped. Sounds like a good idea when you're sh!t faced and live out in the sticks. I believe there is some speculation about whether its possible or not.

I was in E. Lansing from 87-91. When were you at Western? My BIL went there right around the same time I was at State.

Even easier...
Look at the total tax posted on your bill, usually around 7% - 8 %. Double it and you have your tip amount
