Pony falls into pool after getting drunk on fermented apples

A horse in England wandered into a swimming pool after getting drunk on fermented apples Tuesday, the Daily Mail reports.

The pony, nicknamed "Fat Boy," escaped his stable in Newquay, Cornwall, on Tuesday and became intoxicated after munching on fallen, rotten apples, the paper said. He then fell into Sarah Penhaligon's pool.

"I was terrified, but when I took a closer look, I realized it was a horse," she told the paper.

It took rescuers two hours to build hay steps to help the animal get out of the pool, the Daily Mail said.

Just the picture in my head of this gave me the best laugh all day.

The pony is lucky it happened in Britain.

Romanian police have arrested a horse for being drunk.

The officers in Lelesti said the cart it was pulling 'looked out of control', especially after it struck a man who was sitting on a bench. They ran an alcohol test, and it came back positive. ...

I read that headline as "Porny gets drunk, falls into pool." Imagine my disappointment to find out it was a PONY.

I'm either very tired or developing dyslexia in my old age.

Speaking of fermented stuff, did you know that the Declaration of Independence was written with fermented "Pokeberry" juice.

Down south here, we call it "poke salit"......and it's poisonous but some people eat it anyway even though it can kill you. Some animals eat it and get a kind of a high from it. Don't tell the DUmmies that are it'll become another natural high. .........maybe they should be made aware of it.
