Camilla is delighted with the rare breed ram and ewe, which cost the heir to the throne around 300 pounds (446 euros, 617 dollars) each, according to the paper, which headlined its story "Happy birthday to ewe!"Oh, deer....

The jokes will just write themselves...
Prince Charles gives Camilla two sheep, a ram and an ewe for her birthday.

"Camilla, there will never be another ewe."
(OK, that was bad, even for me.)

Baaaa..d joke, Tengrain. How cud you?
Were you wool gathering?
J.S. Bach, from a particularly wretched English translation of one of the secular cantatas: "Sheep may safely while their shepherd..."
The whole line of text is "Sheep may safely, while their shepherd watches, graze in pastures green." That movement contains one of the signature paired-recorders parts in the whole literature. And the German original is nowhere nearly that contorted. But the title on the front of that English edition is exactly as I wrote above. The actual line didn't stop us from making rude jokes.
I can only hope neither Charles nor Camilla was "whiled" by a sheep.
Maybe the shepherd liked it....
