You can't make this stuff up.
Actually, you can't argue with the donkey owners logic. If I were to rear end someone, it would be my fault. Sounds like the motorcyclist was inattentive.
You sure can't!
Sounds like the time my grandma's ass was taken to court by the British in the 1920's! Seems the j@cka$$ didn't have proper papers to walk on his own from the farm to the market, which happened to be on the other side of the new Northern Ireland border.
The story in the paper is/was hysterical. They had to make a special pass for the donkey.
