Pony envy?

Like a horse.

funny

I don’t get it !

It’s the old expression, "I have to see a man about a horse,’ a euphemism for going to bathroom.

I haven’t heard that phrase used for a long time!

I grew up with this expression and wasn’t sure if it was just a Southern thing or if everybody said it.

@Patrice – I grew up in the Midwest and now live in the Northwest, and I’ve never heard that expression before. I came to this page from my comics email because I hoped the joke would be explained in the comments.

My uncle used to say he had to see a Russian about a racehorse.
