‘Mutton but trouble’: Lost sheep has Florida cops asking for help in LOL post
Someone at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has a way with puns.
Over the weekend, the agency posted a picture of a sheep that had apparently lost its way.
“Wool you help us find this sheep’s family?” reads the caption. “He was a bit ram-bunctious in the area of 8200 Old Port Cir and is now being sheep-ish and will not tell us where he lives. Can you help us find his maaaam and daaaad?”
Then a plea:
“If ewe know who the sheep baaalongs to, go ahead and give the Sheriff’s Office a call at 904-630-0500.”
Commenters were appreciative of the post’s humor and added some LOL puns of their own.
“Love the post hope you find his maaaaam.”
“That was really baaaad, but I loved it.”
“Pulled the ‘wool’ over the owners.”
“Too funny. y’all so baaaaaadddd.”
“This is ‘ewe-merous.”
“He needs to be reewenited with his family soon.”
“Don’t sweater it. The owner will shear about this and claim him.”
“It could be a ploy. He could be a felon in sheep’s clothing.”
“They are ‘mutton’ but trouble.”
“Maybe check with Little Bo-Peep?”
Had enough? There are more in the peanut gallery, aka comments section.
As of Monday, the sheep was still in “custody,” according to the agency.
“Baaaad news. We still haven’t found his maaaam or daaaad,” read a Tweet to the Miami Herald. “Good news is he isn’t on the lamb anymore and is safe.”
