GOOD THINGS ABOUT HUSBANDS: - Husbands are less expensive to shoe than horses. - 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 bellyache doesn't have to be walked. - Husbands don't try to scratch their heads on your back - They are better able to understand puns. - If they are playing hard to catch, you **may** be able to run them down on foot. - They know their name. - They usually pay their own bills. - They apologize when they step on your toes. - No saddle fitting problems. - They seldom refuse to get into the vehicle. - They don't panic, running and yelling all through the house when you leave them alone (unless you've left the kids with them too!). - For a fee, you can hire someone else to clip them.
THE HORSE'S ADVANTAGE: - Don't have to worry about your kids looking like them - You never have to iron their saddle cloths. - If you get too fat for one, you can shop for a bigger one. - They don't care what you look like as long as you have a carrot or an apple. - You can repair their "clothes" with duct tape. - It's possible to keep them from "jumping the fence" ... - They don't want their turn at the computer. - They may turn white with age, but never go bald. - They don't come complete with in-laws. - You can force them to stay in good physical condition. - They learn to accept restraint. - They smell good when they sweat. - If they don't work out you can sell them.
