Dumbass Sayings: “High Horse”

Sometimes when you’re explaining to a group of college kids why rape is bad they say “Hey man! Get off your high horse!” First off, my horse is not high. What kind of sick fuck would give drugs to their horse?! Unless it’s purely recreational and the horse does it on his own then I’d have to advise against getting your horse high. And if you’re not referring to an inebriated stallion, what the hell do you mean a “high horse”? Sitting on pretty much any horse unless it’s a shetland pony will put you higher above other humans. You can just say “Get off your horse.” I don’t think horse height is a matter of note here. This saying is just weird. Ultimately, if you have a horse and everyone else listening to you doesn’t that automatically makes you the leader. Obviously you did something to get that horse. You can’t just tell someone to get off their horse. Just listen and be glad they’re not trampling you.

Friends don't let friends give drugs to horses.

Dumbass Saying: “You Can Lead A Horse To Water But You Can’t Make Him Drink”

You can lead a horse to Hydrochloric Acid,
but you can't make it drink!

There’s a saying that “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” which basically means you can’t force stubborn people to do things even if it’s for their own good. This saying is flawed though because you CAN make a horse drink after you lead it to water. All you have to do is wait for it to get thirsty. A horse isn’t going to stand there dying of thirst when there’s water right in front of it. Most non-special needs horses will go ahead and drink up after awhile.

The solution to this saying is patience. If you’re trying to teach someone and they’re being stubborn, just be patient with them. Even if you led a vegan to a pot roast you could make her eat eventually. You’d just have to wait until the vegan was about to die of starvation and there’s a good chance she would cave in and finally eat. If you led a nudist to a clothing store they’d eventually put something on once winter rolled around. It’s all about patience.
