This page is meant to be a Wikipedia-oriented version of the "You have two cows" jokes. The jokes can be used to explain bartering (You have two cows and want chickens. Your neighbor has two chickens and wants cows. You trade your cows for his chickens.), or as satire on political systems (Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull) (Fascism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and your cows.) or religion (Nihilism: There is no cow). (Judaism: Why is it all my cow's fault?).

As stated, this is a Wikipedia-oriented version of it, to serve as humor on the eccentricities of Wikimedia projects.
