any of these would make a great snigtag. I was totally baffled by
this one: 28. A clean stable and a sparkling horse are among life's
great pleasures--- until i realized it was sparkling HORSE not
sparkling HOUSE. cause i kept thinking my god I have never known a
single horse person that had a sparkling house, how can this be?!? I
wondered about it for days. It became an obsession. I thought, well
maybe they are rich and have a maid. but I know a rich woman, several
in fact, and the richest one has a 7,000 square foot house worth about
two million and when you walk into the foyer there is a muddy antique
moth eaten dull and cracked and flaps rolled awry saddle thats I know
for a fact has been in the same spot three years. You cant grind
coffee beans at her house cause she has three grinders and all three
have bute powder residue. She has an olympic size pool with enclosure
that looks like a catfish pond. It may even have fish living in it.
She has a 3,000 dollar plasma television in every room, I mean every
room. and in the middle of her livingroom floor, christmas wrapping
paper, ribbon, and scissors and tape, and here it is july. reindeer
and sleigh plywood cutouts stacked precariously on the dining room
table. She drives a brand new ford diesel dually and has a hundred
thousand dollar horse trailer and insists I camp with her in the
trailer when we are off together and to sleep I have to lay in a wet
pee spot cause her granddaughter pees the bed but I dont have the
heart to tell her. There are at least a dozen pairs of brand new
riding tights with tags still on, brand new bridles, gloves, halters,
slinkies, winter blankets, piled on the bed she sleeps on when we camp
and she doesnt move it, she just sleeps on top of it. But she gets
maddern fire if you come into her horse trailer and dont take your
shoes off at the door. I guess that makes sense to some... every now
and then she gets bored and whines to her husband that she wishes she
had a job so he buys her a business, a little coffee shop, a sandwich
shop, a bar b que shack, she gtes so bored and offended when people
start asking why it wasnt opened at the opening time noted on the door
and sells it. She has five sons, not one of them can keep a job and
they all have wives and kids and her and her husband support them all,
buy them houses etc. She inherited a lot of money when her parents
died but i know she had to have run thru it all by now. Her husband
owns a large pharmaceutical distrubution company. when we go to
coffee after a ride I sit there beside her purse and look down and her
coin purse is always gapped open with a wad of twenty and fifty dollar
bills that would choke a camel, you could never close it. She is
always tight about tipping waitresses. anyway. just thought you all
needed to know about how my rich friend acts.
