sage glaswegian advice

I was standing at bar of a well known Glasgow 'city centre' watering hole, minding my own business and casually watching a television programme about Scottish veterinary surgeons at work. A woman vet. is struggling to get a rather heavy looking dairy cow to roll over and not managing too well. I assume to administer some medication. In exasperation she asks, to anyone and nobody, 'How do you get an old cow on it's back?

Before one millisecond, or perhaps a nanosecond has elapsed, a sage voice, seeming to come from a group of intelligentsia at the pool table, retorts, ' offer her money, it always works for me.'
