**BREAKING: ROGUE BOVINE WREAKS HAVOC ON KANSAS CITY, UNIVERSITY CAMPUS**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of Manhattan, Kansas, moo-ving in shock, a daring cow named Bessie made a break for freedom, leaving a trail of chaos and confusion in her wake.
According to eyewitnesses, the errant cow, estimated to be around 1,000 pounds of pure, unadulterated beef, escaped from a local farm and took a leisurely stroll through the streets of Kansas City, causing widespread pandemonium.
“It was like she owned the place,” said Jane Doe, a witness who was driving to work when she encountered the marauding moo-cow. “I mean, I’ve seen some crazy things in my life, but a cow in a parking lot? That’s a new one.”
As Bessie made her way through the city, she left a trail of destruction in her wake, knocking over trash cans, scattering pedestrians, and even photobombing a few unsuspecting selfies.
But the pièce de résistance came when Bessie decided to pay a visit to the Kansas State University campus, where she proceeded to crash a psychology lecture, sending students and faculty running for cover.
“I was trying to give a presentation on the importance of bovine behavior in modern society,” said Professor John Smith, who was leading the class. “And then, suddenly, there’s a cow standing in front of me, munching on my notes. It was…surreal.”
Multiple agencies, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Manhattan Police Department, and even a team of expert cow wranglers, were quickly dispatched to the scene to apprehend the wayward bovine.
After a tense standoff, Bessie was finally coaxed back to her farm with a combination of hay, treats, and what eyewitnesses described as “an epic game of cow-chase.”
When asked for comment, the cow’s owner, Farmer Brown, simply shook his head and muttered, “I told you she was a handful.”
The incident has left the community in stitches, with many calling for Bessie to be given her own reality TV show.
“I mean, who needs a Kardashian when you’ve got a cow like Bessie?” said local resident, Sarah Johnson. “She’s got spunk, she’s got attitude, and she’s got a serious case of wanderlust.”
As for Bessie, she’s back on the farm, where she’s reportedly plotting her next great escape.
**UPDATE:** The Kansas State University administration has announced plans to offer a new course: “Bovine-Induced Trauma: Coping with the Unexpected.”
