Strong As a Bull Elvira

She was a strong woman; everyone said it. Elvira is so strong! Strong as an ox. Strong as a bull. She was proud of it too; it was her reputation. If something needs to be lifted, go get Elvira! Her family bragged. “She can lift a cow!” her little bother told anyone who listened. “Elvira has the back of a farmer,” Daddy boasted. Hank, a traveling salesman needed a strong healthy woman. He was selling his magic elixir, and he needed a female specimen To show how potent it was, that it caused super strength. Her strength would come in mighty handy. He decided to court her. After their honeymoon they ran into her sister who was married to his main competitor. “Let me guess,” the competitor said. “They told you she was as strong as a cow.”
