Over The Edge
A bloke buys a horse and is told by the seller that to get it to move forward he must say ' thank goodness for that ' and to make it stop he should say 'hold up there beauty '
One day he is out in the country riding at a slow leisurely pace , so slow that he dozed off - only to wake in time to see the horse almost at the edge of a cliff .
' HOLD UP THERE BEAUTY ' he shouts - the horse stops just in time , a couple of steps from the edge .
' THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT ' , shouts the bloke .
