A Shetland pony went into a bar, did a bit of a minesweep, got drunk, and had to be coaxed out using pub snacks.
A four-legged opportunist named Mocha, snuck inside The Ascot Arms in Gravesend, Kent for a triple before the pub opened for business on Monday.
Pub owner, Mihaly Herczeg, had to use crisps, pork scratchings and carrots to coax the pony back into the garden after finding him guzzling a few pints.
The 53-year-old said although the pony usually drinks water, it would probably develop a taste for beer and apple cider given the chance.
He said: Mocha lives in the garden but he managed to sneak in through the back door.
He is not a big drinker but he does walk around like hes a bit drunk but he is very friendly and likes meeting new things and people.
Pub regulars have a soft spot for 12-year-old Mocha, who has managed to sneak into the pub twice since his owner bought him five years ago.
Hitlery on hands and knees!
“Hee Haw-lways says that...”
she has a speech to do tonight
“My air conditioner broke,” John Kerry replied.
No big deal. I’ve turned into a bit of an ass myself from time to time.
I think they tried too hard to do and "4" and a "3" joke here. I believe the colloquial expression the journalist was reaching for was "a tipple before the pub opened".
The Pride Of Krakow!
“The 53-year-old said although the pony usually drinks water, it would probably develop a taste for beer and apple cider given the chance.”
According to the story, he’s had at least TWO chances. I would bet those good ole’ Brits have given that pony more than two chances.
The question is.... does he have a tab ?
Jenny omg root beer float out my nose
Reminds me of the duck that wants to buy condoms
It’s Shetland Pony, not a Clydesdale, fer cryin’ out loud!
Are there NO men in the world anymore?
It sounds like the pub regulars have turned Mocha into an alcoholic. Sure, it’s funny to make the pony stagger around like Foster Brooks.
How does the pony manage to pull the tap handle & draw himself a draft?
“Its Shetland Pony, not a Clydesdale, fer cryin out loud! Are there NO men in the world anymore?”
Just gave me a flashback to being young and living on a farm. There was a huge mule that was sweet feed crazy and would push me across the barn to get to the barrel.
The only way to stop her was a smack to the nose.
I understand that they regularly have to do the same thing with Michael Moore...
