The Sledge Hammer Approach
A man was driving a horse and cart through London when suddenly the horse stopped outside the London Stock Exchange and would not budge. Calmly, the man got down from the cart and walked to the rear of it where he picked up a 14LB sledge hammer. He walked to the front of the cart and raised the sledge hammer high in the air and brought it down with all his might on the horse’s head. The poor old horse collapsed on the road
A well dressed and well spoken man who stood nearby witnessed the whole thing and approached the cart driver and told him that he would be reported to the RSPCA, adding that there were other ways to get the animal to move forward. The cart driver said, ‘Sir, I agree with you but first of all I have got to get his attention.’

I think I heard an American version of this quite a while ago, only the weapon involved was a 2' x 4' piece of wood and the animal involved may have been a mule instead of a horse, I dunno. I guess irony and humor are in the eye of the beholder.

Evidently that is the case..LOL
@TomMcGiverin Thank you for your well thought out and balanced response.
I heard a different version from my Dad.
An Aussie and a Yank were lost in the Sahara with only a camel to ride on, the came across an oasis and decided to stop and get a drink.
Both drank their fill but the camel wouldn't drink so the Yank grabbed a long stick and shoved it into the camel's arse-hole, the camel bellowed loudly and ran off into the desert.
The Aussie grabbed the stick, told the Yank to bend over with his back towards him.
The Yank yelled," But I'm not thirsty anymore, so what's with the stick?"
" It'll help you get up enough speed to catch up with camel you dopey mongrel," the Aussie replied.
So how is a dead or brain damaged horse going to pull a car?
And since when is animal abuse funny?
Hit an animal in the head with a sledge hammer.
HaHa Asshole

I am sorry the joke did not meet your approval and implied erudite sense of humor.
@ASTRALMAX No apology is necessary.
I'm actually glad you showed us that you find hitting an animal in the head with a sledge hammer funny.
Yeah.Killing an animal with blunt force object is funny.
I'm glad we know what you are.
@BufftonBeotch Thank you for sharing your thoughts, exceedingly limited imagination and intellectual ability. Clearly, you do not grasp, let alone understand the metaphorical applications of the joke.
Enjoy being online again!
