Point taken from your end as well, Harold. However, the gag was 
not about horses, it was about McDonalds. I guess this might have 
been a little vague since I hate putting smileys in any of my actual 
writing. Oh well, anyway, maybe I should have put a disclaimer on the 
end something like...

        "No animals were actually used in any of the above gags in 
this fanfic. The ASPCA made sure of this by pointing a very large 
ballistic missile at the author and watched every word as it was put 
down on the screen." ^_^

    P.S. I have been to D.C. and I failed to see any horses while I 
was there. Of course, since I was with a school tour group and we 
were shut up in the hotel for most of every night, I could've missed 
out. :)
