Now i feel my day has really started. Onwards... (laundry).

BTW I wanna be the first horse because I need to lose some weight and have to be in charge, and I love to enjoy the view.

I'll be the first horse so that i can see the cliff and stop at the last minute. After those two leeches are gone, i'll find some grub at my leisure.

The first horse.

SteveDallas · 03-28-2008, 02:04 PM

If I were really a horse, I expect I would line up how the people lined me up. Why {c|sh}ould I think about it? Why {c|sh}ould I even consider that I might have a different place in line and that it might be better? As a horse what would I consider "better"?

Horses have eyes on the sides of their heads. They don't care about the view in front like us two leggers do. The middle horse has the best deal. He gets food and his load get lightened by the one in back. And he still gets to see out the sides.

I voted for the first horse because it had to be a strong and healthy position. Possibly true but not so lucky. Then it occured to me that if the logic to pick the second horse is based on hay and position meaning second must be better than third then it is only half right. There is a different perspective than just position. It's luck. The third horse is the luckiest horse because not only does it have hay to eat but no cart to pull. It is the luckiet position to have and I change my vote. I vote for the third horse.

Nope, the third horse is not only pulling a cart, the load doesn't get any lighter enroute.

Sundae · 03-29-2008, 06:45 AM

I don't want to be a horse.

The question is not which horse you'd want to be, but if the first horse leaves Chicago for New York at 9 AM traveling 5 MPH, and the second horse leaves New York for Chicago at 10 AM, traveling at 4 MPH., how fast will horse number three be going when he discovers the meaning of life?

42?

At the end of the trip, the farmer will look at his carts and realize that only the last one still has any hay in it. As the first two horses are now useless to him, he will sell them to the glue factory and keep the only horse smart enough to protect the farmer's goods. Third horse for the win.

You are my guru.

I'll be the first horse, because my hay load will be empty really fast.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-29-2008, 11:54 AM

But the second horse gets it's load lightened just as fast, plus something to eat.
