Man, look at those goggles!
Horse sense is Stable Thinking...
I’m thinking drugs were involved. A lot of jockeys - who have to be small and light to begin with - keep their low weight through chemistry, or at least to the extent possible with modern regulations.
My older brother is short and man, what a foul temper that guys got..!
I use to tell him, "What are you huffing about...hell, you can't whip no one..! Man.! he would fly into a rage...and kick the living crap out of me..!

$1.45 million in PURSE MONEY. That translates to less than $100k after payments for agent, valet, bar tab, gambling, dealer, hookers, etc.
Remember Harry the Midget from an episode in the Odd Couple TV series? Funniest episode, in my opinion.
He looks like Justin Bieber’s 12-year-old little brother. Who could he possibly “assault?”
He’s saddled with a whole heap o’ trouble now!
Exactly. Halflings have the advantage of dexterity, quickness and ability to hide in shadows... strength and weapons use are usually not their forte.
Yeah. Who would want one for a neigh bor?
Gravitationally challenged ping
Did you hear about the guy who went to the races and while there he observed a Roman Catholic priest who went over to a horse and sprinkled it with holy water?
The horse went on to win the race, streaking ahead of the opposition!
Before the next race he saw the priest go over to another horse and sprinkle it with holy water. Like the first horse it went on to win its race!
The guy said to himself that if the priest sprinkles another horse with holy water I am going to bet every penny I have on that horse. Sure enough, the priest went over to another horse and sprinkled it with holy water.
So the guy went to the window and bet every penny he had on this horse. Then the race started and the horse that the priest sprinkled with holy water dropped dead about 100 yards after the start of the race.
The guy was devastated. So he went over to the priest and said, “What’s going on here? The last two horses you sprinkled with holy water went on to win their races, and this last one you sprinkled dropped dead after only 100 yards. I had put every penny I had on it’s nose!”.
The priest replied, “You’re not Roman Catholic, are you?” The guy admitted that he was not and asked, “But, how do you know that?”
The priest said, “Because you don’t know the difference between giving a blessing and administering the Last Rights.”
Okay guys, I think it is time to rein in this thread...
LOL, but I thought it was going to be something other than holy water. :)
LOLOLOLOL.
Ok.
I so wanted to reply “Neigh...”
Yes....lol.
He must have been up on the balcony for over four hours!
Well, you know that I don’t like to be a nag about these things...
Shoot low, boys, they’re riding Shetland ponies!
Good thing he didn’t break his leg - they’d’ve had to put him down.
