Man calls police over cow-licking nightmare

A man in Tennessee had an unusual complaint when he called the police last week – he was furious that cows wouldn’t stop licking his house.

Jerry Lynn Davis of Rogersville, Tennessee, said that the force of the cows’ incessant tongues had done $100 worth of damage to his house, including breaking a gutter and ripping off a screen window.

The cows belonged to Davis’s neighbour – the cows’ pasture fence being just a few feet from his house. Apparently, the cows had managed to poke their heads far enough through the fence to get within licking distance of Mr. Davis’s abode.

Sheriff’s deputies were able to resolve the cow situation amicably, contacting the bovines’ owner, who said he’s sort the problem out.

It’s not clear exactly why the cows were so keen to lick Davis’s house.
