WELSH VALLEYS HUMOUR by David Jandrell

A man was driving home through a country lane when his car broke down. He peered under the bonnet and wondered what he could do to get it going again. He heard a voice behind him say, 'Give the petrol pump a tap, it should clear it.'

        Without turning round, he tapped the petrol pump and tried to start the car. It started first time! He got out to thank the 'voice' and was staggered when he saw a horse looking at him from behind a hedge.

        He couldn't see anyone near, so, a little puzzled, he got into his car and drove off.

        A bit further down the road, he spotted a farmer and stopped. He told the farmer that he'd broken down and he thought that a horse had told him what to do to repair his car.

        The farmer asked him if it was a brown horse that had given him the information. The man confirmed that it was a brown horse that appeared to have spoken to him. The farmer replied, 'Aye, well it's a good job it wasn't the black one, he don't know nothing about cars.'
