Horses in the workplace.

I was at work today as I am every single day of my life. And i was working alone (or by myself, however you want to look at it). My mind was wandering. I don't know where it went but when it came back it had an ice cream. Anyway, I was thinking of a tv show I must have seen over a month ago now. It was one of those "funny video" shows. One of the videos was a horse race, and the name of the horse in the lead was Hoof Hearted. so the announcer guy was all excited yelling "Hoof Hearted, Hoof Hearted!!". Only he was saying Hoof like roof so of course it sounded like "Who farted, who farted!!". So it got me thinking about a couple things. One, did the announcer secretly want Hoof Hearted to win so he could yell WHO FARTED? Two, Did the announcer not no that you could pronounce the word hoof differently if you wanted too? So then I was thinking that if i were announcing the race i would have pronounced it like look or woof, and then just to assure myself that it would still sound right if you pronounced it like that I said out loud " hoof woof ". It sounded right to me. The problem is I was NOT actually alone in the room I was in. There was a carpenter in the room behind me. And he gave me a funny look. That's when i realized I had just barked at him. I didn't know what to say or do. So i just started acting like i was coughing. I was going "huff, huff" like I had something deep in my lunges i was trying to cough up. Then i left the room quickly. I do stupid things sometimes that are just easier not to explain. But since i blog now, might as well try to make you understand my stupidity.
