When it becomes apparent that nothing of the sort is going to happen, you begin to wonder if enough women auditioned. But no, the director tells you afterwards, they thought it would be a good joke...

...have to wonder if they'll come riding in on steers, twirling their lassoes, yip-yip-yipping away and dribbling behind their backs while wrestling a helpless 250-lb. calf to the ground--all in the tip-off circle...
