Cowabunga!

Dateline--Scotland. The Scotch coast guard were called out a few days back in order to deal with a local emergency. The locals had spotted a whole herd of cows wallowing in the ocean and, assuming it was some mass bovine suicide, called the authorities.

Thankfully, it turns out the cows were just trying to keep cool. But it's given me an idea. The old series "Baywatch" is just ripe for a revival. How about an updated Baywatch set in Scotland? No, no, hear me out! The first episode would be about this cow-thing, of course. They could go looking for Loch Ness; they could rescue cod fishermen off the Orkneys; they could save a herd of Shetland ponies from drowning.

The only disadvantage can be summed up in two words: tartan bikinis.
