#11 Horses are intelligent and often friendly, especially if you treat them right. They produce fertilizer for the garden. And they never, ever explode.
I saw an episode of Bonanza and a horse got upset (exploded) at Joe Cartwright and broke his arm.
Enh. That was an actor horse. He was just pretending to break Little Joe’s arm, and Little Joe was just pretending to get his arm broke. And who did the producer and director trust to pretend to break Little Joe’s 100,000 dollar arm? A horse, of course. And the horse just pretend got mad, which is mere figurative exploding, he didn’t literally “explode” or Bonanza would have been over, since one of the main characters and a trained horse would have been dead. Highway to Heaven would never have happened, and he would have been a real angel, if people become angels when they die. Kabbalistic lore says that they don’t, except for Elijah, whose body was carried up to Heaven because it was so refined that it was elevated above physicality and a chariot came fo’ to carry him home.
So stop getting those dangerous lithium batteries, and dammit, get a horse. No “greenhouse gases,” except every once in a while. And an intelligent friend who will take you through rush hour traffic quicker. Little Joe would approve.
