And of course, as Col. Potter might say, ‘Horse hockey!’
I am pretty sure it was Harry Potter who said that. Thanks, VC
You can’t blame him for bucking the trend.
The mane thing is that he tried. Thanks, Geo F.

Thanks, YAB!
I’ve been thinking about this all day
Glad to hear it. Thanks, Steve
Overheard among the senators:
Straboni: “We could make serious political hay if we could get Caligula on tape talking about the need to raise taxes so that all roads lead to California instead of Rome.”
Corleone: “Fuhgeddaboudit! Tape hasn’t been invented yet. I suggest we satisfy our libido and go for a roll in the hay.”
Orgasius: “Speaking of… Hey, who let the horse out of the barn?”
The Senate record is regrettably incomplete on this matter. But thanks, David! That was great.
Hmm, I wonder what they would be discussing if they had appointed a bull as consul? :)
Probably matters of public pasture. Thanks, Nancy!
Hey! Hay is for horse they say.
I believe that’s true. Thanks, Janny!
And we all know the end product of discussed hay.
I think we do. Yes. Thanks, Cricket
Since it is California, they might be discussing where the missing hay went.
It’s the talk of the town! Thanks, John!
Gotta make hay while the sun shines. This would have been the first resolution passed.
I have no doubt. Thanks, fw
That’s a good bet, George. And maybe the pig Caligula taught the horse to speak Igpay Atinlay, in which the word ayhay in regular Ancient Latin meant slaughter the pig. For that is what senators did. Maybe the orsehay also swayed the Praetorian Guards, eh?
There is not much I can say that has not already been covered in the film, Gold Diggers of 1933. I will say this, though: nobody sang Pig Latin better than Ginger Rogers. Thanks, E Sum.
Absolutely. Ginger’s singing in Pig Latin was in the money. Glad you mentioned it. Just played a video of that specular performance on YouTube. Nothing online about the Roman pig’s favorite horse’s singing in Pig Latin, except on Trefology. You’d think Google’s AI search engine could turn up millions of hits. But no. Just the one. I find that a bit odd. Don’t you?
The Senate made a salad of the horse. Fortunately, it never caught on and everyone went back to the one with anchovies.
Funny. Thanks, Geoff!
:D :D :D Neigh!
Haha! Thanks, mm
Hey, that horse’s proposal on sewer reform changed lives! :)
Brilliant, Jean. And thanks.
I really enjoy your writing.
Thanks, MM
If the horse had been a problem-solver, they might have actually got something done.
Agreed. But hay always gets in the way. The temptation is just to great. Thanks, Stacey.
