The Vicar and his horse(Joke)

The Vicar of the Parish of Little Wallop had his new horse trained to obey commands. It was trained to gallop when he said “praise the Lord,” and to stop when he said “Amen” and a whole other commands. The Vicar set off to the mall to buy supplies that his wife said they needed for the evening Bible Study.

“Praise the Lord,” the Vicar said to the horse as it began to gain ground in its gallop. When he reached the store he wanted he said “Amen, “ and again the horse obliged and came to a stop. In the store the Vicar was delayed by the retailer was happy to see the Vicar coming to his store. When the Vicar realized he was late for the Bible study, he burst out of the store and mounted his horse.

“Praise the Lord!!” he kept on saying, each time the horse increasing its stride as it ascended the mountainous region. Almost too late, the Vicar remembered that there was a precipice up ahead. He screamed “AMEENN,” and the horse came to a screeching halt, nearly sliding clean over the cliff. The Vicar, wiped sweat from his forehead, looked up the sky and said “Praise the Lord.” The horse obliged.
