A Newly Wed Couple Were Riding A Horse Drawn Buggy Home....

After a few miles the horse stopped in the middle of the road and the husband gave the horse a light pop with the whip. The horse kicked and bucked. The man quietly murmured "That's strike one.". A few minutes later the horse stopped again and after a light tap on his hind quarters bucked even more violently. This time the man murmured "That's strike two.". A few minutes later the horse bucked again and the man quietly climbed down from the carriage, pulled out a pistol, and shot the horse dead. His new wife immediately began screaming and yelling and striking the man asking what the hell was wrong with him. The man pocketed his pistol, looked up at his distraught wife, and murmured "That's strike one."
