When the chips are down (when your down in the dumps) the buffalo is empty (the bull has run out of Sh**!) That makes a lot of sense!!

However, if you ever spent any time on a farm, you will soon realize that despite the observation of chips being down, the probability of the bull still having a goodly supply of poop remains high.

But obviously left Reese dazed and confused.

Well thank God cows can't fly, especially if the chips are on the way down!!
Yes, and I think it's time to close this thread, because it's full of it too!

Has been bugging me for quite awhile!

The "chips" are the defication from the Buffalo- you know, the waste.

When the chips are "down", as in on the ground- the Buffalo is uh, empty.

And I thought you guys knew everything.

Alas, finding alternative methods of describing a Buffalo taking a dump isnt one of my priorities

The code broadcast over the BBC to French resistance letting them know the invasion was imminent and to begin pre invasion sabotage.
