I'm not complaining. I would never complain about Friday. However, I had a lot of work to do this week and I really could have used some extra time. Maybe we could have tossed in an extra day this week. Call it Pre-Friday or something. As it was, I had to skip lunch today in order to have time for my riding lesson tonight and then go back to the office after my lesson to finish up.
What? No. What are you talking about? My priorities are in perfect order.
Have you ever heard that comedy routine where the guy (Bill Engvall?) talks about stupid warning labels, like "Don't try to change the chain on your chain saw while it's running," and wonders if the reason they put the warning label on was because someone actually tried to do that?
Well, I was reading the new issue of Horse & Rider and someone wrote in with a question about feeding melon rinds to her horses. As part of the answer, the nutrition expert mentioned that you shouldn't feed your horse hamburgers, steak scraps, and chicken skin because "horses are not designed to metabolize animal products." Which leads me to wonder why an equine nutritionist would feel compelled to mention that. I mean, do you think she has actually seen someone try to feed their horse meat? Who would do that? "Sorry, Beauty, I'm all out of oats, but I've got a nice pork roast in the oven and I think you'll find it to your liking."
Although, now that I've finished typing all that, I do recall someone once telling me that they were at the State Fair one year and his donkey reached over and stole a bratwurst right out of some guy's hand - and ate it. But heck, the donkey probably couldn't even taste the meat with all that bun and mustard and sauerkraut.
