A horse goes into a bar and orders a pint.

The bartender says: "You know, you're in here pretty often. Do you think you might be an alcoholic?"

The horse says "I don't think I am ..." and promptly vanishes from existence.

See, this was a joke about Descartes' famous line from philosophy, "I think, therefore I am."

But if I had explained that before the rest of the joke, it would have been putting Descartes before the horse.

When I played the clip just now with the sound on, one of my cats looked around for a new cat when she heard the "meows" and my other cat came running into this room from the bedroom, looking for a new cat :biggrin:.

I once tutored a granny who wanted to learn it so that she could help her grandchildren with homework.
