A German man called on his bank for an unusual service when he was too tired and drunk to go home — he bedded down there for the night with his horse.
The man, identified as Wolfgang H. by German media, went to sleep next to cash machines in the local branch of the Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse in Wiesenburg southwest of Berlin after unsaddling his horse Sammy and closing the door.
A spokeswoman for the bank said that aside from an undesirable deposit made by his horse inside the building, the 40-year-old account holder had not breached any house rules.
A police spokesman said that since the horse’s droppings had been removed, the matter was now closed.
Actually – living where folks still occasionally ride a horse to a liquor store – arrests for drunken riding are not unheard of in my part of the U.S., either.
Of course
I’m trying to figure out which one is Reid and which one is Pelosi.
Horse Shit == Democrats
Bull Shit == Republicans
Is that about right Frank?
Yeah, something like that. 😛
Can you really get arrested for DWR (“drinking while riding”) ?
I mean, as long as the horse hasn’t been drinking, whats the problem?
I wonder what kind of interest he built overnight on those “horse deposits”?
In at least some of the states in the USA, you can be arrested for “DWR”.
A horse, weighing 1000-2000 pounds, that is not properly controlled by its rider, can be a serious and even deadly hazard in a crowded area.
It is also a lot of fun when cattle find a way through a fence. You haven’t had fun until you have met a long horn bull in the middle of an interstate highway. That happened to me once in rural Texas. Moo.
#8, Improbus, nothing like a whole herd stampeding around your telescope at 03:00 in the middle of oilfield, west. TX. You can’t even feel safe in a car. Good thing the cows weren’t drinking beer. 🙂

Definitely, this year’s Tucson Rodeo Parade had a five year old die after another horse spooked the one she was riding, causing it to rear, then the horses pulling the wagon, which spooked hers, trampled her.
(BTW, it was against the rules for a five year old to ride alone)
J/P=?
F**k you and the horse you rode in on!
8 and 9. Where I live is a free range area, no fence needed AND if you happen to hit livestock with your car (or motorcycle) YOU are liable.
No Mr Ed and Wilbur jokes? That horse does resemble Ed.
RTaylor, the first post was a Mr. Ed joke … of course.
Easily the strangest post Ive seen on here in a while… I guess we should be thankful the horse wasnt intoxicated

If this story was from Mexico that might not be the case. If you have seen a donkey show you know what I mean.
Kinda reminds me of the time that Otis rode his cow into the jailhouse after getting a snoot full. It was difficult explaining to Aunt Bee and Opie what the mess on the floor was until I had Barney mop it up. Boy, I like it when Barney gets upset…. Good times…. Good Times
#16 – Well, yeah… if it was from mexico then i’d understand – that tequila kicks yo’ ass
