Words of advice for young people #73.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth. What does that even mean I hear you ask. Well my dears, back in the day, if you wanted to assess the age of a horse then you carefully counted its teeth, like I said… carefully. So if somebody were to give you a fine filly, no payment required, no questions asked, no quid pro quo; by checking the horse’s teeth you would imply that the giver was trying to dump an old nag on you. Any horse is better than no horse, a horse a horse my kingdom for a horse, any horse in a storm… no wait. So anyhow, if you were to meet a horse, such as this one, who doesn’t want to do a toothy smile, then just be grateful that you get the haughty equine smirk and not spat at in the face. Or is that camels and needles?
