The Hard-Ball Explanation
(I am a volunteer at an equine rescue center. I am giving a barn tour to a customer’s wife while the manager shows him a horse outside. This morning, we received a stallion and he’s been kept inside until the vet can neuter or ‘geld’ him.)
Me: “And this is [horse name]. He just came in this morning.”
Customer’s Wife: “Oh, he’s pretty! Why isn’t he out with the others?”
Me: “Oh, he’s still a stallion.”
Customer’s Wife: *blank stare*
Me: “He hasn’t been gelded yet.”
Customer’s Wife: “I’m sorry dear, I don’t understand horse language.”
Me: “Neutered?”
Customer’s Wife: *blank stare*
Me: “He is going to get his boy parts chopped off, ma’am.”
Customer’s Wife: *blushes* “I should go see how my husband is doing…”
