I encountered this weird metaphor

I encountered this weird metaphor this morning: "Lesbian sheep." Puzzled, I got more details. Here's the deal: sex researchers have discovered homosexual rams, but believed that there were no homosexual ewes. It turns out, though, that gay ewes are hobbled by the fact that the way that a ewe solicits sex is by standing still, thus, a group of lesbian sheep are incapable of coupling up, since they all go motionless when they're interested in one another.

"It's very difficult to look at the possibility of lesbiansheep," Perkins explained, "because if you are a female sheep,what you do to solicit sex is stand still. You don't mount. So,it's very rare that a female sheep would mount another femalesheep."

"Maybe there is a female sheep out there really wantinganother female," Perkins speculated, "but there's just no way forus to know it."
