Wedding Hijinks

The problem with throwing centerpiece fruit into the trees at your friends’ wedding reception is that it might get eaten by a horse.  Who the hell knows what happens after that?  Maybe the horse gets a stomachache and falls down dead.  Maybe fruit loving hyenas catch the scent from Africa and attack your friend’s horse, who is now sweating citrus.  Maybe a girl horse gets frightened by the bright colors and some well-meaning boyfriend horse sees the fear as a weakness and forces the other horse to eat the fruit as a means of overcoming her phobia thereby cementing what was once at most a wariness into a full blown experiential terror at the sight, smell or taste of papaya. 

I don’t know about any of this; it’s all just possibilities.  All I know is drop kicking a lemon is just about the worst way to not get your pants dirty.
