Horseback Goober
A goober decides to try horseback riding, even though he has had no lessons or prior experience. He mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion.

It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the goober begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, he grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. He tries to throw his arms around the horse's neck, but he slides down the side off the horse anyway.

The horse gallops along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up his frail grip, the goober leaps away from the horse to try to throw himself to safety.

Unfortunately, his foot has become entangled in the stirrup and he is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as his head is struck against the ground again and again. As his head is battered against the ground, he is mere moments away from unconsciousness when ...

. . . the Wal-Mart manager runs out to shut the horse off. . . .
