Location: western PA | Surgeon Generals warning on horse hair
Urgent Notice: Potential Danger of Horse Hair This is a public service announcement.
In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of horses. This substance, called "amobacter equuii" has been linked with the following symptoms in female humans:
· reluctance to cook
· reluctance to perform housework
· reluctance to wear anything but boots
· reluctance to work except in support of a horse
· physical craving for contact with horses (may be an addiction)
Beware! If you come in contact with a female human infected by this substance,
be prepared to talk about horses for hours on end.
Surgeon General's Warning: Horses are expensive, addictive, and may impair the ablility to use common sense.

Location: missouri | Wowee! I had no idea my husband had a ghostwriter! infact, I didn't know he even had a job anymore... the reason we women love horses so much is that they are so much cooler than humans. I don't ever want to imagine life without them. |
