Yes, yes, there was a debate between the Democratic candidates in South Carolina tonight. but trust me, this is much more fun:
The AP reports:
An early-morning bank customer had a bit of a shock when he found a horse at the automatic teller machine.
The horse's owner, identified only as Wolfgang H., had a bit too much to drink the night before and decided to sleep it off inside the bank's heated foyer, police said Tuesday.
The 40-year-old machinist told Bild newspaper he had had "a few beers" with a friend in Wiesenburg, southwest of Berlin, and decided to hit the hay in the bank on his way home.
Confronted with the lack of a hitching-post, he brought the 6-year-old horse, named Sammy, in with him.
When a customer came across the horse and sleeping rider in the bank at 4:15 a.m. Monday, he called police, who then came and woke the owner up and sent him on his way.
I once interviewed Jimmie H Davies, the ex governor of Louisiana who wrote You Are My Sunshine and rode his horse, also called Sunshine, into the state capitol at Baton Rouge because "the horse hadn't seen the Executive Office."
(He was actually scoring a point off an opponent who criticised him for spending public money on a limousine).
