A man and woman were riding home in their horse drawn wagon. Suddenly, the horse reared up and the man stopped. He got down from the wagon, looked the horse in the eyes and said "That's 1." A while down the road, the horse reared again. The man got down again, looked the horse in the eyes and said "That's 2." He got back in and they continued on their way. After the horse reared again, the man got down from the wagon, looked at the horse and said "That's 3." At which time he loaded up his shotgun and blew the horse away. His wife looked at me in dismay and said "What did you do that for? How are we going to get home?" The man looked at his wife and said "That's 1."

(No animals were actually hurt in the real story)
