Actually, I was told her name's German for "glue." Thus, the very mention
of it terrifies horses (from whom glue used to be made). Weirdly, someone
explained this very joke to me not two days ago, and I've been watching
that movie pretty much since it came out.
I also tried to answer this one earlier this morning, but, alas, my witty
reply never came through.
May 18th is fast approaching. What am I gonna wear!?
