Ed the mechanic
A man is drivng down a country lane when his car suddenly breaks down. He gets out and opens the bonet, and while he’s examining inside he hears a voice from behind him.
“That’ll be your spark plugs, mate. Give them a clean and you should be able to start the engine.”
The guy looks round and sees a horse in the field.
“What the… Did you just say that?” he asks the horse.
“Sure did,” the horse says.
“A talking horse?”
“Like I said,” the horse goes on, “give the spark plugs a bit of a clean.”
The man, dumbfounded, does as the horse suggests, then gets in the car and turns the ignition. Sure enough the car starts first time.
He puts his head out the window. “Well thanks, Mr Horse.”
“No problem,” the horse says. “Have a good day.”
A few miles down the road the guy sees a pub, and pulls over. “I’ve got to have a drink after that.”
He goes in the pub and says to the barman, “You won’t believe what just happened to me.”
“What’s that then?” the barman asks.
“My car broke down up the road there, and when I got out a horse told me how to fix it.”
“A black horse?” the barman asks.
“That’s right,” the guy answers.
“Lucky it wasn’t the white one,” the barman says. “He knows nothing about cars.”
