I was given a set of fake longhorns at a "white elephant" gift exchange a
few years back.  Since my parents were still living in Ohio at the time, the
families (my brother's and mine) spent Xmas with them.  My brother has
absolutely no sense of humor, so Laura and I wired those horns to the grill
of his minivan (I had pulled the coil wire off first, knowing that he would
ask me to see what was wrong with the vehicle).  I helped load packages and
then parked his van in such a way that it would be hard to see the horns
unless you were standing in front of the car.  He drove the thing all 250
miles home before he found the horns!  Boy, was he pissed!

Glad you got a gift to enjoy, Anthony.  I'm sure they'll look great over the
mantle!
