    Horse on a train?

    The owner of this pony managed to buy a ticket to take his animal on a train a fairly short distance. Staff at the station helped him get the pony in the elevator and down to the platform but the guard wouldn't let him on the train.

    There is nowhere on these modern trains to load a bicycle unless you can carry it and a horse wouldn't bend enough in the middle to get from the car's vestibule at each end into the passenger compartment, let alone come out backwards.

    Why a ticket was sold to him I do not know!

    I thought this was a set-up for a joke...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Probably was, by the ticket agent.
