The everyday hilarity encountered by an English teacher while acting professor de inglés via telephone with a beginner student in Madrid:
Whitz: Today I want to talk about animals.
Pablo: Animales? How you say… uh… Me encantan the… los Animales?
Whitz: You love animals?
Pablo: Yes, Yes, I love the animals.
Whitz: Right… Have you got any pets?
Pablo: No…No… its not possible. My friend has a caballo.
Whitz: A horse?
Pablo: Yes… A orse… beautiful orse.
Whitz: Ok! And…
Pablo: I like to … how you say… montar… the orse?
Whitz: to ride the horse?
Pablo: si si…. I like to ride orse all weekend.

Each to their own.
as my wise granddad... or maybe pot smoking cousin... or was it... fucks me, someone once told me...
"Horses bite at one end, and kick at the other, and they tend to be bloody uncomfortable in the middle."
sounds like something my wise dad would say, actually... and in my experience, it has tended to be correct.
Score Board:
---------------
Horse: one successful kick to the face, many uncomfortable rides
Dalai: i have used glue. Made from horses.
