The story about "Carl Twinly" is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.
Fox 19 reported: "A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit ... Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She's also accused of urinating on a neighbor's front porch."
The weirdest thing about this to me is “promote a local haunted trail.” How shitty and not-haunted is your haunted trail that you need someone in a cow suit to promote it?
The rest of it is a no brainer. Obviously if I’m in a cow suit, I’m getting drunk and pissing on your porch. Nothing weird about that.

That competition had one winner. It was this guy.
There's a scene in Top Secret like that. It stops being fun once the bull joins in though.
Dude in bull costume, giggling
Nah, the bull did all his own stunts:

How did they find out?
More like, how did they go that long without finding out?
Tasters complained
But only after the 20th batch
The trick is to stay soft

Maybe it's haunted by a drunk cow?

This reminds me of The Office episode where Daryl is out on some kind of injury.
