Drunk pony rescued from swimming pool | UK news | guardian.co.uk

A drunk pony was rescued from a swimming pool after gorging on fermented apples and falling into the water.

The pony, called Fat Boy, broke in to Sarah Penhaligon's garden in Newquay, Cornwall, to get to the fruit, which had fallen from trees.

He ate so many apples that he became confused.

I'm still trying to figure out what your comment is in response to, but can I add that today I saw a lion riding a pony in celebration of Communism?

Well, I clicked through to the guardian article on Marx and stumbled upon the pony. So I thought I'd share.

Or? Drunken ponies and Marxism go together. Don't you see how?

The pony, Fat Boy, is obviously capitalism. It got drunk eating fermented apples (easy credit) that had fallen from trees (Wall Street banks).

The pony fell (crashed) into a swimming pool and needed a rescue (bailout).

The pony will live, I'm not so sure about capitalism.

Hoover promised "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage," while Marx promised "a pony in every pool."  I'm pretty sure.
