Try not to impress him very much…

juli-crop.jpgWe have a story about a breeder of fighting bulls who  plans to clone his best stud. The stud sired two bulls that impressed a famous bullfighter named El Juli so much that we’re told he “keeps their heads mounted at home.”

Excuse me? Where I’m from, we don’t say, ”That’s a real impressive dog you have there, Judy! I’d like to hang its head in my rec room.” 

I’m guessing El Juli didn’t wait for those bulls to die of natural causes, either. It sounds like he has issues with expressing positive emotions in a healthy way. 

Maybe El Juli could try saying: ”What a wonderful bull! I will pay for him to spend the rest of his days sitting under a cork tree, just smelling the flowers.” For more details, refer to Ferdinand.

Strangely enough, it turns out the literal translation for “El Juli” is “The pants that are fancy.”

…within seconds of this shot, El Juli found himself explaining the circumstances to Saint Peter, who was unable to contain his laughter….

Of course he’s trying to get the bull’s attention. The bull is busy laughing at his costume.

That waistline high enough for you, Julian?

In a height of embarassment, rodeo clown Juli DelPucker drops the eleven hundred pound fighting bull he had so recently been balancing upon his muscular lips.
