Just in case

I mean, you never know when you might need one.
Despite having no horses, the water and sewerage department for the city of Detroit employs a horseshoer.
H/T: Overlawyered

  1. They're getting ready for when they can't afford gasoline, and pull vehicles with horses.

  2. It's good to plan ahead.

    I built my garage big enough to hold a Rolls Royce.

    Sadly, my bank account isn't commensurate with filling my garage with a Rolls Royce.

  4. Someone should ask the city’s Mare for a response.
    Perhaps he’d deplore the cavalier attitude to efficiency he’s been saddled with.

  6. Well I've enjoyed ponying up a gag or too with you guys, but really, I've got to hoof it.

  7. I don’t want to be a dam nag—I’d bridle a bit at the suggestion—but the problem would seem to be that the wrong people reign in Detroit.

  10. I think the mane idea is that this horseshoer guy is steadier in the harness than the other studs on the payroll, plus he's probably the only one that knows how to actually operate a hammer.

  13. Well, I don't wanna beat a dead horse, but this bunch of commenters is riding it hard, and putting it away wet, and may just manage to win by a nose.

  14. Now we know why Detroit has such a stable economy.

  15. Give the city government a little more time, and everyone will be hoofing it around the place, no need for a blacksmith.

  16. I bet that horseshoer is a real stud, too.

  17. Clearly no one will rein in these jokes!

    My guess is that the Obama Administration will demand that GM and Chrysler employ horseshoe makers also.

  19. Just trying to harness our comments for the November race, Paco.

  20. Actually we bridle at the suggestion. We prefer to move along at a steady gate.

  21. I'm glad to see no one is whinnying about all these puns;

  23. OK, the next person to post a silly pun gets horsewhipped.

    But I'm afraid it's like closing the barn door, after the horse is gone.

  24. I guess it's time to canter along then.

  25. I think this thread is driving everyone buggy.
