That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 19, 2020

George suddenly felt embarrassed when he realized he wore the wrong hat for the trip.

White horse – “I see a low tree branch ahead. Let’s charge it and see how many of our passengers we can knock off.”

“So this is what it’s like to be in the lead! The scenery keeps changing!”

Brown horse: Naw, let’s gallop full speed ahead around the small boulder up ahead and watch the fatheads fly for a strike!

“When we’re right next to the cliff on the left, we’ll suddenly veer right. Pass it along.”

“You’re a horse of a different color…or should I say ‘lack of color’…snicker, snicker.”

how the union shop kept the royal mail from ever making a profit…

Hey , Fred! When you see a rest area , please stop. Bob forgot to go when we left home.

Who is driving this bus, anyway?

“That’s it Driver! NO MORE HITCH HIKERS!……Geez..Why would you pick up a matador?”

“Wow this carpool lane is great. No traffic at all”

“Glad you’re in front with me. The two behind us are horses’ asses.”

Now this next house I’m going to show you is a little off the beaten path, and it’s a little bit of a fixer upper, but I just know that you’ll absolutely LOVE it!

Stagecoach express in the Mild West

What!? You get 3 bags of oats a day and an apple — I only get 2 and a turnip. No wonder they warned us not to discuss our raises!

Are you sure this is the way to the house of the widow of a Nigerian prince?

Dammit! They have over booked again.

“Who let that bullfighter up here ?”

The High and the Mighty

Pay as a guard on the Royal Mail coach was lousy, the hours were long, and the job arduous, but they did give you a great uniform and a nifty hat to wear.

They’ve taken a different approach/ to the seating arrangements in “coach”/ the drinks have got pricey/ your “perch” is quite dicey/ and the peanuts are harder to poach..(and the driver is smoking a “roach” !)

How about next time we rent a coach where we can ride inside?

The earliest cowboys quickly learned how overdressed they were for the rugged trip west.

“I say Reginald, are you certain the indigenous peoples will refrain from scalping English nobility? I fear that they may not be acquainted with our superiority to the typical traveler.”

5 people up on top…so how many are inside? Poor horses!

It was getting harder and harder to find a fourth for bridge.

I told my friends I was taking the coach to Bunsy-on-Thames… they all said the same thing: Wear the fox that!? So I did! :>)

I hope it doesn’t rain, the convertible to is in the shop.

the guys though it would be fun, with the wives inside to pee on the roof, but it was not watertight.

Sorry gentlemen, the same rules as a swimming pool. Nobody can use the coach until it has been thoroughly cleaned.

I went to the old fortune teller the other day, and she said … get this … that someday there will be a type of vehicle called something like “VW”, and that it would a craze to do this. What a silly tart! Who would want to be like this?
