Mister Ed

Long ago, Mister Ed walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?" In fact he is a little spooked by Mister Ed, a talking horse on TV, whose smile seems unconnected to his eyes, which stare blankly. He's a odd one, Mister Ed. You might think, given his ability to speak English, he would ask for more oats or comment on the position of women in society (definitely second class in those days). Instead he talks like a car salesman.
