It's a fact that some high-strung horses -- race horses, typically -- can be kept calm by having a buddy to hang out with. This is sometimes a donkey, since they're relatively mellow, at least compared to expensive horses.

Say, they ought to throw a voice synthesizer in there while they're at it. Then they could recreate the scene with Balaam's donkey talking to him!

Snork@ NMUA. I'm sure some cellphones are involved too.
Guide: To your left you'll see an ancient path where it is believed that Jesus, Abraham, Solomon, and King David once walked.

Think how different the Bible would have been (and shorter) if St. Paul had been tweeting to the Corinthians!

I see you have some tablets there, Sir. Do you have a prescription for that? Turn around and place your hands behind your back for me ...
