I don't know for sure if this is true but knowing these two main characters it could be.

Joe asks for 6 months of retraining for 'Cattle Guards'!


   
CATTLE GUARDS, THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS THEM WANTING TO CHANGE THE LAW OF PHYSICS!

You will love this one, I haven't stop laughing yet.

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area.  For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.


A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado .  The Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the "cattle" guards immediately!

Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten President Obama out on the matter, Vice-President Joe Biden, intervened with a request that...before any "cattle" guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining for Arizona border guards.  'Times are hard', said Joe Biden, 'it's only fair to the cattle guards and their families!'


And these two guys are running our country, OMG!

Passed on to you without further comment...Now you do the same.

I'm thinking it could be true.

It's very funny but has been around for years with several different sets of people including Bill Clinton. However,in Joe's case I doubt he would know what a western style cattle guard is, so it could be true even though it isn't.

It is entirely possible that it may be true, but not all people outside of the midwest are aware of what cattle guards are.  The expectations that one should know what they are without fail is typical of the mindset displayed on this forum.

There is another version that pops up occasionally having to do with a city slicker out in the west asking directions. He's told to turn left past the cattle guard and he asks what color uniform the cattle guard is wearing. Funny, but has been around a long time.
