Not so subtle. Besides why try to "improve" an original saucy card. Don't see the point.

You're right. It's not so subtle. I think the original card was 'spot on' for the audience of its day and I think my alternative might have been popular a couple of decades later.
My alternative isn't intended as an improvement It's just a variation on a theme.

Nope, I think you got that right.
cow's for an item/expression belonging to a single cow
cows' for an item/expression from multiple cows
cows's --- wrong?

I did see that the other day on some TV news (not cows's, but can't remember what now), and thought to myself, that doesn't look right.
I think you're right. that it is wrong.

Nothing wrong with the apostrophe in He's which is what I thought you meant.
It's like being back in the second form doing English Language.Not that we had a saucy postcard to work from unfortunately.
