JEM<br />
A guy has two horses One’s got a<br />
hundred pounds. <strong>The</strong> other got<br />
fifty. Hundred-pound horse falls<br />
over dead. Guy puts the hundred<br />
pound sack on the fifty-pound<br />
horse. Now that fifty-pound horse<br />
won’t move. He won’t take a step<br />
with another pound on his back.<br />

time. We get jammed up -- we’re<br />
holding court on the street.<br />
Mule.<br />

pound mule.’
