Visit the website of the Sacred Cow for a giggle at witty contributions from giggle worthy people around the globe. It all begins with the posting of a new topic, to which visitors respond to with their best comebacks.

Election candidate Al Gore was a subject of much debate within America. When the audience of Hecklers.com was asked to consider what he may use for Presidential campaign slogans, the response was huge. The number one retort was "there can't be any problems if I don't do anything".

A little closer to home came the top ten hints that it is just too damn cold outside. Try the time when "you decide to use as kindling that frost-bitten toe that you were going to have sewn back on when the roads were cleared." With Gippsland’s Winter weather, I bet we can all relate to that.

Looking for a note of advice for the future? Try the comprehensive list of things not to do at your boss’ Christmas break up. Like "chasing his only son/daughter around the dining table with a party hat and piece of mistletoe".

Why not visit the website and have a look around amongst the top ten lists of the world. There are other fun features too, such as the force-feed Calista Flockhart feature (tasteful). Click here to visit the website.
