A guy walked into the Horseshoe Inn, ordered a pint of Smithy ale and attempted to pay for it with counterfeit money which the landlord noticed straight away.
The fella asked how he could tell, and the guvnor pointed out that it had MONOPOLY printed on it and reminded him that he could go to prison for using forged banknotes, but he said he wasn’t concerned as he had a ‘get out of jail free’ card!
Behind the pub a chap called James has a forge which specialises in designer footwear for gee-gees, he’s known as Jimmy Horse Choo.
You may or may not know that hanging a horseshoe on your wall brings you good luck, but it must be the right way up, hang it upside down and your luck will run out as I discovered to my discomfort.
I screwed one to the wall facing downwards and as I was admiring my handiwork it suddenly decided to come loose and drop onto my bare big toe which is now even bigger and unbearably painful.
I bought a horse from a blacksmith and when I put it in the stable it made a bolt for the door … actually, that’s not true, I’m so sorry!
Thank you Keith for saddling yourself hammering out this delightful tail. Was this a spur of the moment story, by your lavish puns I say, “neigh.”
You are such a funny filly! I either canter think what to write or I have to rein it in to prevent straying from the mane subject!
LOL!!
Fun post Keith
Thanks so much, Di.
oh, man! thanks, a lot Suzette and Keith!
here I was, thinking, as I read your Six, “ok, only a couple of comments, now what sounds like roan… no, better make that stallion, I got this!’
then I read the comments
Good Six, Keith.
(not be a neigh-sayer, but with this level of puniation, I think I’d best sit this one out)
Suzette wasted no time in punning along and I could resist a bit of counter-punning. Your twopenn’orth has added more fire to the fun! Thank you muchly.
My thoughts exactly…one can only sit back and watch closely as two pros are exchanging pun…ches!
Brilliant, Keith!
Haha! Good one Keith.
I’m pleased you liked it, thanks Sadje.
You’re welcome
It is good he had the Get Out Of Jail Free card as well as the monopoly money.
Too true! Thanks, Frank.
Jimmy horse choo!
Only for the most fashionable fillies!
You are so good at making me smile!
Haha, I try my best Mimi!
A real gem!
That’s really kind of you, Chris.
You and your horsing around. You crack me up, Keith!
Neigh problem!
Hey now, quit horsin’ around, Keith!
(Actually, don’t ever stop)
