wonder if I can give a shout out to the posses...

speaking of posses...

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian war party. The Indian Chief proclaims,

“So, you are the great Lone Ranger? In honor of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. What is your first request?”

“I’d like to speak to my horse.” Says The Lone Ranger.

The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver’s ear, and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back. As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger’s tent and spends the night. The next morning the Indian Chief admits he’s impressed.

“You have a very fine and loyal horse, but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?”

“I’d like to speak to my horse again.” Says The Lone Ranger.

The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver’s ear, and the horse gallops away. As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening to the Chief’s surprise, Silver again returns- this time with a voluptuous brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger’s tent and spends the night. The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed.

“You are indeed a man of many talents, but I will still kill you tomorrow. What is your last request?”

“I’d like to speak to my horse . . . alone.”

The Chief is curious, but he agrees, and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger’s tent. Once they’re alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, very slowly and loudly “Listen to me carefully, now for the last time: I said “B-R-I-N-G P-O-S-S-E!!”

hope everyone have a wonderful new year ahead and hugs for the broom...

and and for everyone!
