• This just unlocked one of my weirdest childhood memories. I played fastpitch softball as a kid, and at one away game the school’s softball field was next to a pasture. During warmups and the first several innings, we watched a guy dig a hole in the pasture. In the second inning or so, we hear a gunshot off in the distance, and the third has a truck dragging a horse corpse to the big hole. The man shoved the horse corpse into the grave, and takes three innings to bury the horse.

    At the team huddle after the game, one of my teammates said an eulogy for the horse.

      I think we’ve made some great progress today, don’t you? How does next Tuesday at 11 sound for our follow up.

      That’s brutal…

      I went to a middle school that sat next to a farm. A number of our athletic matches were canceled due to the cows getting out and one was canceled because the farmer shot a coyote on our baseball field & left it.

      Waiter comes up with a tray: pig in a blanket?

        Another one comes around to gather your empty champagne glasses…

        “This one’s still full, want me to leave it?”

        “Nah, you can dump it. I wasn’t up for going to the toilet after being called a pig in a blanket…”

      Catering companies would love to bring you food for 10 people and the plates to keep it warm for your quiet night alone. All you gotta do is pay.

      Honestly, if I ran a catering business I might put up the same sign. What’s the worst that can happen? 3 horse funerals?

      OOOHHHH so THAT’S where that pre-cracked egg comes from. I didn’t know that was a whole joke account and store.

      “Jim has returned! But this time he brought us a live horse…. you think he’s still going to ask us to cater its funeral?”

  • Careful. Read their reviews online and I’m not so sure about this place. They served deviled eggs at the return of Jim and everyone knew Jim hated eggs. Some people argued this was even why Jim left again and didn’t stay returned.

      It would be especially appropriate for a horse funeral were the animal was used to bring contraband over the Sierra Morena or was called Cielito Lindo

        I just want mariachi band to play Y Los Cielos on the other side of the door when I’m trying to squeeze out a really tough one, but that would be rude to them and those years are past.
