I suspect that this video will show why bulls should not be allowed behind the wheel of a fine truck.  And it doesn't have to do with the lack of thumbs. They just plain can't drive.

How?  How does this happen?  And how do you get it down?

Animal expert David Mizejewski always throws Conan O'Brien for a loop with the critters he brings to the show--and Conan's reactions are worth watching.

I know a few people that can suck on a lemon without cringing.  I'm not one of them.  And many of these dogs aren't either.

Well, I guess bath time is gonna have to wait.  The tub is currently occupied.
