It was a proud day for Father Buffalo, seeing his eldest son walk away from the pasture they had called "home" to pursue his dream of college and ultimately a career in Animal Husbandry.  So he called out:  "a farewell to thee, my son".

But the son, heartbroken, replied:  "Why can't you just say it?  Just because they claim it's a different species, after that seminar, I now see that that is how I self-identify myself.  I certainly didn't expect bigotry from my own father."

The Father Buffalo sighed, deciding to ignore the redundant phrasing, at last spoke: "Well, if it will make you happy, bye son"
