The Horse

Ok, i was 23 years old.. me and azzer (Aaron) were out together walking the streets like you do and had a couple of beers together... well.. try.. enough to make us not drunk.. by ballsey... well anyways.. we had this other mate.. he was Aarons friend from school.. who was staying in that night.. it was about 2 am on the 20th December or so.. so its like the start up of the Christmas mood.

Well.. me and Azzer were walking around and he was staying at mine that night.. and having a few bottles of beer as we walked around.. and suddenly Azzer and me started talking... and it went similar to this.. not exactly.. but similar...

"You know Graham (the other kid)?"
"Yeah"
"He needs to cut the lawn tomorrow so he ain't gonna come to town with us"
"Ok"
"We can cut his lawn yeah.. help him?"
"Ok.. or we could just cut it now"
"I haven’t got a lawn mower"
"Ok"

Just then we passed this part of town that had a field on one side.. with sheep in.. and next to another field with a horse.. and the other side was just houses and a hardware shop..

we looked at each other and i knew what was coming.....

"Sheep eat grass"

So in our semi drunken state we tried catching a sheep.. to use to cut the lawn.. but we couldn't catch one.. and they were all making noises and like.. getting pissed at us... so.. we turned our attention to this horse in the next field.

an hour later and a lot of racket and some strange looks and disgust by people looking out their windows later... we left this horse in Grahams back garden... just as the cops showed up.. and grahams parents and graham half asleep starring at this neddy in their back garden munchin on the pansies...

result.. i got a police caution and took full responsibility for the theft of the animal and the clean up of the town and the horse shit and hoof marks on peoples gardens when we tried to muffle the sound of the hooves on the tarmac.. Azzer got away with it..

bad ending.. but damn that was funny when ever we talked about it afterwards..
