Please note that Mr. Ed was actually a female Zebra named Amelia from Jungleland. With B&W filming, the animal comes out ghost gray looking. When it came down to color changeover, the network shifted the time slot.

^ guess no one picked up that urban legend! Although white Zebras were used in some scenes when the horse Bamboo Harvester was ill, it was a show horse and it clearly had a penis!!!

Don't remember seeing a horse's penis on TV in the 1960's. Maybe things were not so uptight in California. A knife can be a good weapon if you are in a crowd and the risk is too high of hitting an innocent bystander with a bullet. Ever hear of Arlene Del Fava? She was coming home from the World's Fair in New York in 1962. A mugger grabbed her and she stabbed him with a switchblade knife. The police arrested her for possession of an illegal weapon. Fortunately the prosecutor refused to indict her. I recent years a lot of New Yorkers have been arrested and prosecuted for carrying "spring assist" and thumb stud knives that can be opened with one hand. There is a Knife Rights organization similar to the NRA which has been successful in lobbying a number of states to change their archaic knife laws.

Horse HooHa + Knives = oddly interesting conversation! 5's

Thanks guys! Came to mind from a "Family Guy" episode in which Stewie tries to teach an English girl to speak American English. " The life of the wife is ended by the knife!"
