Once a man attended
a fair and saw another man
leading a fine,
well-groomed horse.
He inquired, "Is
that a saddle horse?"
The other replied,
"No Sir.
This horse will
buck off a saddle.
Nothing can stay on
his back."
"Is he a driving
horse, then?" the man asked.
"No, he was hitched
up once and made kindling wood
of the vehicle he
should have pulled."
"Well, what is he
good for? Why is he here? the man asked.
The answer was,
"Style, man, style.
Just look at the
picture he makes."
Once I was in a
church building and saw people
clad in fine
clothes coming into the morning service.
I asked the
preacher, "Are those people workers in the church?"
"No," he answered
sadly.
"Do they visit the
sick and minister to the poor?
Do they attend
other services of the church?"
"Never," said the
preacher.
"There is that
horse," I said to myself.
"Nothing but
style."
