It was off the road and not impeeding traffic but people just love to use their cell phone and adore calling 911. A dead horse is not, by the way, an emergency.
We could not do anything about the horse until today because of the holiday.
So, this morning I called the highway dept and told them about the horse. She said, that must be in the same general area as the dead cow. I thought, Cow? What, cow? I checked the mile marker and told her that it was. I said, well, you know them city folk, don't know the difference twixt a horse and a cow.
Well the calls were coming in left and right, all on 911 I might add. But the one that blew my mind was the gentleman that called and said he wanted to report a dead hog on the side of the road. I asked him where and he gave me the mile marker. Having already had my quota of stupid people for the day, I sighed and said, Sir, are you sure that's not a horse? He said, well, now that you mention it, it is a horse. :-5
Of course, of course, a horse.
Having met my quota for the day, I threw him back
Happy Tuesday To You
