Cow Wanders Into Sparkasse Bank

Wedding guest cow wanders into bank

On Friday a Friesian cow named Paula was wandering into a Hannover Sparkasse savings bank in the northern German small rural town of Wunstorf.

The cow took a detour from a wedding where she was meant to be a guest of honor, wandering into a German bank where she was caught on security cameras sidling up to the tellers.

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Friday published four robber-style photos of the cow strolling into the Sparkasse savings bank.

“The cow entered, made an elegant turn and walked right back out,� a bank spokeswoman said. “It was an extraordinary experience, but it was over very quickly.�

The cow was supposed to be taking part in a nearby wedding ceremony when it wandered into the bank. When farmers in the rural region marry, the new bride traditionally milks a cow to prove her skills in the homestead economy.

There's a really good joke here, I can just feel it.

I knew those banks milked you for all your worth... an udder scandal!

Was it a laughing cow?

Laughing all the way to the bank?

Maybe the cow wanted to open a bank account.

To open an account with the Sparkasse you'd have to be mad.

Um. And in other economies what does the bride do to the cow to prove her skills?
