HE SHOULD'VE SAID, 'THAT'S A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR'

In the “Whatta Woild” department, a friend sent this anecdote collected from a student newspaper at Oxford University in England:

It seems a local college student was arrested and jailed for a night after he “verbally abused” a police horse. He was fined for "causing harassment, harm or distress," after he repeatedly called the officer's horse "gay."

The student, Steve Brown, asked one officer, "How do you feel about your horse being gay?" while declaring that a second officer’s horse was clearly not gay.

This apparently went on for a while. Eventually, Brown's offer of an apology to the horse was rejected. He was handcuffed and taken by the officers to the police station.

A police spokesman said the "homophobic comments" were offensive to the policeman and his horse, as well as the general public.

Is this made up? Neighhhh. But I say: horsefeathers! If everyone concerned in this incident hadn’t acted like . . . the other end of a horse . . . life would’ve galloped along a lot more smoothly.

Prayer request: Our longtime dentist, Greg, is so worried about the cancer that his wife Linda is battling. He’s such a gentle and sweet man, and did such a whale of a great job on my new crown! Lord Jesus, crown HIM with Your peace and remind him that while life here on earth is fleeting, our life together with You is eternal and permanent. Bless his efforts to make Linda comfortable and enjoy their time together, cherishing every day as a gift from You. (Psalm 125:1)
