Sort of how a lot of superstitions (bad luck to break a mirror, spilling salt, etc.) reflect the value/scarcity of the item in question.

It's because an ox is so much stronger than a donkey, that hitching them to the same plow might lead to the donkey getting hurt.

Seems to me that there are a lot of "religious" laws that were created to make people/things safe, and they threw the God label on it to make people do it, i.e. I've heard that the prohibition against pork and shellfish was because people used to get sick eating those foods because they weren't cleaned properly (i.e. trichinosis), so they slapped a trayf label on it.

I'm trying to think why someone would think hitching a donkey and an ox to the same plow would be a good idea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That probably is the next step after you make a bong out of a skull...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You've got one ox, you've got one donkey, why not? It's worth a shot, anyway?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

note to self: don't farm

Now we know where those crop circles all come from.

Good call.
