News: World News: Cow Urine Medicines Hot Sellers

We Indians are wackos officially. I can hear Letterman and Leno this night going on about Indians and cow and urine, yep one smelly combination.
Why only cow urine? Wouldn't any mammal urine suffice? Buffalo and Cow are not much different from each other their milk almost tastes the same, may be urine too. This a good business plan for some other enterprising individual. We have more number of buffaloes than cows, therefore you can drive those costly cow urine costs down and no one will know the difference.

After-Shave lotion made with cow urine
Yes sir, that's right, I will sprinkle some of this holy cow urine on my face early in the morning and will walk into the board meeting. That should give me a good shot at the promotion I was hoping for.

I guess the reason for people lapping up this products is, we Hindus believe that Cow is holy. My father who is a historian specializing in Ancient Indian history tells me the reason was economic. At one point in Indian History, there was major drought, and the cow population depleted to a very meager number. People at that time were slaughtering cows left and right to feed themselves, infact beef was a staple deit then. Some smart Alec recognized that at this rate of cow consumption, cows would be 'extinct' pretty soon, so, he made cows holy and sin to consume them.

This holiness of the cow overtook its myth status and became a edict. Everything cow is holy, even its urine. Anyways, this urine is providing a livelihood for some Mela Ram and some Tuka Ram is happy that he is using an 'antiseptic cow urine after shave'. Both parties are happy, who am I to complain? How about a cow urine Mousquito repllent? Wait a second...never mind.
