Ah the memories! One of my first 4-H projects at seven or eight was a "T"
shaped one legged milk stool, painted green of course. Two pieces of 2x4's,
seat about 10" long, leg about 12" and two 16d nails.

Actually while one leg seems unstable it is actually more stable than three
in the barnyard particularly if one need to get quickly out of the way of an
obstinate cow.

Bullshit has nothing on cowshit if it liberally applied with a tail.
