[Humour] Joke Du Jour.

Jack Straw · Feb 12, 2019

With the outbreak of Equine Flu, a Press Photographer thought he would go to the racing stables to get a photo of a row of horses in their stables, all with their heads looking out. He thought that this photo would go well with one of the stories regarding the virus outbreak.
He lined up his shot and was about to press the shutter-button when one of the horses quickly moved out of view, ruining the perfect photo. He tried again and the same thing happened. After several attempts, he was still unable to get a shot of every animal at the same time due to this one uncooperative one.
Apparently, it was a Shier horse.

Why would the have a Shire horse at a racing stables?

Tim Over Whelmed · Feb 12, 2019

That doesn't make sense, the size of a shire, even if it were a companion horse, would be a risk to the race horses. Are you sure you've got this correct?

Normal Rob · Feb 12, 2019

Even if he could get the Shire horse to put it's head out, it would be a completely different size and height when compared to the other horses. It would ruin the composition of the photo, and would therefore not make a very good picture anyhow, He needs to re-think the shot.

I think the photography must have been a bit pony!

I liked that one.

LlcoolJ · Feb 12, 2019

Instead of all that fannying about he should have just taken a photo of an empty racecourse like everyone else.

bhafc99 · Feb 12, 2019

He should have just taken the shot straight away. You can’t expect horses to wait around furlong time.

Jack Straw and poor photography, who'd have thunk it. He'll be trying to pass us off with pictures of muddy fields and a half-built stadium next.

Dear Mr. Straw, now at the pinnacle of your talent. when you were a lad I bet everyone laughed when you said you wanted to be a comedian. They're not laughing now.

Not Andy Naylor · Feb 12, 2019

If the horse was shy, why did it not simply hide until the photographer had gone, rather than continuing to keep putting its head back out? I think there must be some other explanation, as the one you have advanced does not stand up to scrutiny.

B-right-on · Feb 12, 2019

The horse probably thought the photographer was a bit of a nag.

Winker · Feb 12, 2019

The shire horse probably had the trots and had to keep nipping to the bog.

Saladpack Seagull · Feb 12, 2019

Shirley the question to ask when looking at such a photograph is "Why all the long faces?". Apparently most of the affected horses are stable now.

Moshe Gariani · Feb 12, 2019

About as funny as a Rab C Nesbitt gag...

Ah! A pair of singing Muslim horses - Sunni and Shier.
