A true Hero

[larrymeyer]

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons, nor prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slide from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the horse's side anyway.



The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup. She is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves, and her head strikes the ground over and over.


As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune, Frank, the Walmart greeter sees her dilemma and unplugs the horse.


And you thought all they did was say Hello.

You started the horse thing, mind you...

A religious fellow needed a new ride so he went down to the local used horse dealer.

"Well, sir," says the dealer, "I just got in a horse that you might like."

The man looks at the horse and it looks fine, but he could not see anything so special about it.

"So what is it with this horse?", he asks.

"This horse belonged to a preacher back east for his circuit ridin' and all, don't you know. And, this here horse responds to, well, slightly different commands."

"What commands are those?"

"In order to get him to go, you say 'Praise the Lord!". To get him to stop, you say 'Amen!"

Well the religious fellow got a kick out of that and decided to buy the horse.

On his first ride he yelled 'Praise the Lord!". Each time he said it, the horse would move faster, too.

He was having such a grand time, he had forgotten about the canyon just ahead. When he did notice it, they were mere yards away.

He immediately tugged on the reins and yelled Whoa! and stop! but to no avail.

Then suddenly he remembered...."Amen!".

The horse stopped immediately. They were an inch from the edge of the cliff.
In fact, a little dirt fell over the edge.

The religious fellow wiped the sweat from his brow. He leaned forward in the saddle and took one look over the edge of that cliff.

He glanced into the Heavens and declared, "Praise the Lord!"....
