HONEST HARRY'S NEW & USED HORSES
I can save you money on gas!

Alright folks, step right up! You don't want to pay $4.69 for gas, no problem, I have the perfect vehicle for you. Needs no gas, no oil, or even a battery, just a little grass and water will do these animals fine. Now everyone has different needs, so choose from the following models:

1. Trail Horse - Your average run around town animal. Has the energy to get where you are going, the brain to find the best way to go, big enough to carry the normal sized American.

2. The Arabian - perfect for those who travel long distances in a day and try to multi task while driving. Although the Arabian may not go to your home or office with out specific instruction, it WILL go somewhere.

3. The Draft - Cdalling all soccer moms. This big guy can carry the whole team, their gear and snacks. Just like the big machines, this guy will require more fuel, and his shoes will be more expensive than the compact model.

4. The Western Pleasure - The right car for the high end white collar workers. This animal works harder and requires more special knowledge so only the best can figure this out. Be sure to take your cell phone. You won't be stuck in traffic, you just won't be getting anywhere fast.

5. The Parelli - Salesmen, stay at home moms, and high school kids will all enjoy this dream. You can load him down with flapping Wal-mart bags, ask him to walk in places a horse won't fit, and you can dance with him as you listen to the latest tunes.

6. The Ranch - The most dependable animal available. He will go where ever you ask him to, at whatever speed is appropriate. You can tie him to the stop sign and he will be there when you get back. Best of all, this model has been specially engineered to be able to go without water for days and stay fat and slick by eating sagebrush and dead prairie grass.

Of course all models are available in base colors (sorrel, bay, black) Special order colors are available (dun, gray, palomino) and for an additional fee, custom paint jobs are also available (overo, tobiano, blanket, leopard).

No horse is sold with a warranty, however maintenance plans are available in the event brakes, steering, or accelerator fail.

All I can say about that is

"You don't want to pay $4.69 for gas"

? I am paying the equivalent of $10.16.....perhaps my best option is to move to the US

[LovelyLadyLux]

I filled up today for $3.79/gallon..........the "Horse Man" must be out of touch.

Last week Canada was $1.25/litre.....

[Grandad]

My equivalent rate is $US 2.23/litre. But your gallon is smaller than ours I think. Ours is 4.546 litres

[LovelyLadyLux]

Yes - the Canadian gallon is bigger to.

Really begs the question of when these gas/oil/fuel prices are going to stablize and start moving south. Can you imagine the price of fuel if Iran and Israel get into it AND, from everything I'm seeing being reported there this IS becoming a possibility.

I missed the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu (however it is spelled) speech at the UN but yesterday they allowed Irans PM to rant on. News is reporting here that this has been the last speech Ahmenadinijad will be allowed to give at the UN. Am SURE if this is appealed though we'd all cave and allow him to talk again. We ALWAYS care in.

The UN is a joke and a talking shop and it always has been, just another waste of money and materials that we should get out of, united nations? you must be joking!
The only thing we should bother with is NATO, and not a bunch of petty little jumped up countries that only use it as a political platform to grandstand on the world stage.
