No use crying over spoiled milk

In Bali a young boy named Alit was caught having sex with a cow. According to the Jakarta Globe newspaper the local villagers conducted a special ritual to cleanse Alit of his abomination. One of the requirements was that he marry the cow, but in the middle of the ceremony he fainted. Possibly he was worried as to how to place the ring on her hoof, or how the heck would he carry her over the threshold? Maybe he was concerned his neighbors would call his wife a "fat cow", and what if she became pregnant? The villagers would assume she was unfaithful, even if he claimed it was bull. In the end the ritual required that the cow be drowned in the ocean, and the young boy was symbolically drowned and cleansed. As usual the innocent suffer, but there's no use crying over spoiled milk.
