I like this donkey.

I think it’s a donkey. It might be a mule, but I think it’s a donkey. If it’s a donkey, it could be either a jackass or a jennet, depending on how nosy you are and how closely you want to inspect it. I’m pretty sure it’s not a hinnie, but I wouldn’t bet my paycheck on it. If it IS a donkey AND the photograph was shot in Spain or Mexico, then you’d be okay calling it a burro.

In fact, call it whatever you want. Jackass, donkey, jennet, mule, burro, hinnie — they’re all fun to say. Well, mule isn’t particularly fun to say, but that’s what you’d expect from a mule, right?

Regardless of what you call it — regardless of what it is — that look in its eye shows personality. I like this…okay, I’m going to settle on donkey. I like this donkey. I like this donkey. I’d buy this donkey a beer. Not a great beer, because c’mon — but a decent working class beer. I think this donkey and I would see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues facing us in the world today. Unless he turned out to be a total jackass.
