The Clever Horse

A man drove his old car down a country lane when the engine started to splutter and he ground to a halt. Unable to restart it he got out and lifted the bonnet to see what might have gone wrong. After a few minutes of head scratching he heard a voice behind him. "It's the carburetter - main jet blocked. Undo the float chamber and onblock the jet". The man stood up and looked behind him and saw no-one. Only a horse looking over the fence. To his amazement the horse repeated his advice.

Although incredulous at this amazing happening he proceeded to follow the horse's instructions and, lo and behold, the main jet was blocked and it was soon cleared and he, although still incredulous, thanked the horse and went on his way.

A mile down the road he came to a village. He pulled in at the pub and ordered a pint at the bar. He then proceeded to tell the landlord about the horse, even though he was sure he would be thought mad.

The Landlord asked him to describe the horse. he replied that it was a normal brown horsey colour.

"Ooo arr you were lucky" said the Landlord. "The other horse, the grey, knows fuck all about motors."
