Kicker: An udderly important bill

NICK EICHER, HOST: All right, most of the time these kicker stories write themselves, and today is no different.

We bring you six eye roll-worthy puns courtesy of the U.S. government.

So now, Congressman Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania, speaking in favor of a bipartisan bill that passed the House this week.

And with a name like Smucker, it has to be good!

AUDIO: Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of HR 1147, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. And I urge my colleagues to support this udderly [ding!] fantastic bill.

And let's not skim [ding!] over the facts here: whole milk is truly the cream [ding!] of the crop in delivering key vitamins and nutrients to growing children. And we can only begin to cow-culate [ding!] the impact that has on their long-term health.

So let's not curdle [ding!] away the opportunity to expand dairy consumption in our nation's schools.

Mr. Speaker, all milk puns aside, healthy kids and supporting our dairy farmers are moo-tually [ding!] important.
