Today's entertainment: Husbands Vs. Horses, Author unknown


Good Things About Husbands:


Husbands are less expensive to shoe.

Feeding a husband doesn't require anything that even mildly compares with the hassle of putting up hay.

A lame husband can still work.

A husband with a belly-ache doesn't have to be walked.

Husbands don't try to scratch their heads on your back.

They're better able to understand puns.

If they're playing hard to catch you *may* be able to run them down on foot.

They know their name.

They pay their own bills.

They apologize when they step on your toes.

They seldom refuse to get in the vehicle.

They don't panic, yelling and running all through the house when you leave them alone. (unless you left the kids too)

For a nominal fee you can hire someone else to clip them.



The Horse's Advantage:


If they don't work out you can sell them.

They don't come with in-laws.

You don't have to worry about your children looking like them.

You never have to iron their saddle pads.

If you get too fat for one you can shop for a bigger one.

They smell good when they sweat.

You can repair their "clothes" with duct tape.

It's possible to keep them from "jumping the fence".

You can force them to stay in good physical condition...with a whip if necessary.

They don't want their turn at the computer.

They turn white with age, but not bald.

They learn to accept restraint.

They don't care what you look like, as long as you have a carrot.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
I don't know how much I will be able to be on net during the weekend, the internet connection is giving us some trouble....

That is great! I love it! And after some recent challenges loading Misty into a trailer, I appreciate that my husband gets in the vehicle so easily. But I laugh imagining him bolting out of the car and running half way down our driveway, then stopping to have a snack, which is exactly what Misty did a week ago.

There was a lot of thought put into that one. My favorite is "They don't panic, yelling and running all through the house when you leave them alone. (unless you left the kids too)". My husband always put up such fits when I'd leave him at home alone with our toddlers, so that I could run errands. Now that they are self-maintaining teenagers, I can't pry my husband away from them. He has buddies now.
