Evolution

Horses are made of glue. I used to run up to groups of horses with

paper mache’ signs. They’d run and run, and after awhile I’d get tired and

throw up. I’m not sure when it started. People have just always said glue

was made from horses. Maybe that’s why I usually see large trailers filled

with horses around heavy construction sites. They probably take the animals

and place them strategically between giant slabs of concrete. Then as the

horses start to squirm and whinny, monstrous hydraulic clamps squeeze. I

guess then children and dogs from around the neighborhood could gather at

the base with bottles. In these hard times anything free is a blessing, and

free fresh glue, well that just can’t be beat.
