More On the Horsemeat Scandal

Once again the mighty G-Man goes foraging for 55 words of wisdom and wit for his FFF55 blog

Now we learn that horses need passports! Getting the photograph must be arduous. How do you fit a horse into a photo-booth? Are they allowed to smile?  Or wear a straw hat with their ears sticking through holes? How much hoof luggage are they allowed? Would you want to sit next to an airsick horse? Etc.

    1. Or ever dyed - though it does have an air of dead meat about it, too...

    2. Clearly my co-ordination is up the creek - my brain and fingers are out of sync and the typos abound.. Third time lucky? Try 'even, not 'ever' and send me to the bottom of the class... Which reminds me...??? (private joke!)

  4. It's the horsemeat unfit for human consumption (injected with some caustic substance?) that I would worry about. Such a smear on the pristine image of the EU that we here stateside look up to. As to passports...you aren't supposed to smile!

  5. So all the Horses are leaving the country?
    Like the Jews fled Pre-war Germany?

  7. My horse has a passport. There is no photo. He never goes abroad. (Just thought you'd like to know.)

  8. Just fyi Doctor, horses are unable to throw up; it's anatomically impossible. But I would not care to use the restroom after one.

  9. Rabbits cannot throw up, either...Cousins?

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
